Day 1
Welcome to Club Notawissi
Upon your arrival at the Notawissi outfitter site, let yourself be captivated by the vastness of the territory and the tranquility of the place: here, time seems to stand still. Upon arrival, a welcome cocktail awaits you, followed by taking possession of your cabin and cold-weather equipment. Then lunch awaits you in the dining room with an incredible view of the great Lake Notawissi. In the afternoon, worthy of true coureurs des bois, your guide takes you snowshoeing through the forest. He also introduces you to trapping. Common in Quebec but increasingly rare, it aims to regulate wildlife on a specific territory. Settle in comfortably... the first evening at Notawissi promises to be gentle and convivial, punctuated by a gourmet dinner and the soothing silence of the snowy forest.
Day 2
Snowmobile initiation (75 km) and ice fishing
Before mounting the snowmobiles, your guide gives you safety instructions and driving basics — the adventure can begin. Over 75 km of snowy trails, you taste the freedom of the north: tight turns, frozen lakes and breathtaking landscapes. In the forest, stop for a typically Quebecois ice fishing experience, then lunch around the fire before hitting the trails again. Return to Notawissi, engine purring, for a festive dinner and a cozy night in the cabin.
Day 3
Snowmobile Notawissi/Fer à Cheval/Notawissi (160 km)
At dawn, the snowmobiles set off from Notawissi on a carpet of fresh snow. The first kilometers reveal a grandiose setting: forests laden with powder, frozen rivers and pristine valleys as far as the eye can see. In the morning, the trail leads to the Fer à Cheval relay, where a hot meal and log cabin atmosphere warm the spirits. In the afternoon, head back via the shores of the majestic Mitchinamecus reservoir. Panoramas stretch out, trails wind between snow-covered pines, and the golden light of late afternoon accompanies the last kilometers. Back at Notawissi, time for dinner and well-deserved rest for the northern adventurers.
Day 4
½ day of fat bike, ½ day of dog sledding
After a good breakfast at Notawissi, get ready for a day of contrasting adventure! This morning, head out on an electric fat bike on the snowy trails: sensations, freedom and grandiose panoramas guaranteed. In the afternoon, experience the unique dog sledding experience: learn to lead your own team and let yourself be carried by the power and enthusiasm of the working dogs, true partners of the Great North. At the end of the day, return to Notawissi for a comforting dinner and a cozy night in the calm of the forest.
Day 5
Snowmobile Notawissi/Rabaska/Notawissi (160 km)
Early in the morning, the snowmobiles set off under a brilliant winter sky. Direction Sainte-Anne-du-Lac! The trail crosses snowy forests and frozen lakes, offering spectacular panoramas at every turn. After passing through the village, head to Rabaska Lodge for lunch: fireplace, log cabin atmosphere and comforting dishes on the menu. In the afternoon, return to Notawissi via the winding trails of the Hautes-Laurentides. Upon arrival, time for a gourmet dinner and festive evening! A singer-songwriter sets the mood with Quebec classics – laughter, music and conviviality guaranteed until the last note.
