The Taïga
6 people
The rustic cabin Le Taïga lives up to its name. Just a short distance from the Caribou and the Écureuil cabins, you will be surprised by the carpets of moss and lichens and the alpine vegetation that surround it.
Rates
See the Rates section on our website.
Taxes extra unless otherwise stated.
Prices include propane, lighting, and firewood.
Access
Summer
In the summer, the cabin is a 400-meter walk from the Lac à l’Écluse parking lot.
Winter
In the winter, after the first snow (sometime in October!) the cabin is approximately 4 km away by snowshoe or ski from the Zec des Martres reception since the road is closed to vehicles during the winter period (sometimes until the end of May!).
You must go to our reception, not the Zec des Martres, to pick up the keys (135 rang St-François, KM 10.6 on route 381).
Activities
The cabin is located near the starting point of several highly appreciated trails, such as the Mont du Four and Lac à l’Empêche trail and the Sommets trail, to name a few.

Important information

You must take all your waste with you.
