A route of 7 mega-zip lines is now available, 4 of which pass over the St-Charles River with spectacular views. Sarbayä offers an extraordinary experience, where surpassing, pleasure and skill are at the rendezvous.
Nature getaway at the Mont Sutton Festival
Sometimes the best activities are often the simplest and the least expensive, especially when you have a larger or smaller family! If you are thinking of a getaway outside the Quebec City region, the Mont Sutton Festival is a must.
Guided hikes, mini accommodation courses, jazz music and songwriter, all for those who want to spend a good time outdoors and enjoy the sweets of the season before the cold.
For epicureans
A warm home, a beautiful fireplace, discreet and enveloping music, a multi-hour gastronomic adventure accompanied by a visit to the farms and gardens, this is what describes the farm and table Champêtre of St-Valérien-de-Hey, Milton.
