The Traversée de Charlevoix

TRAIL CONDITIONS UPDATE – Thursday November 21st, 2024

The trails are currently icy, muddy or snowy depending on the sections and altitude.
Snow is expected in the coming days. Conditions could change quickly.
If you have a shelter rental in the Lac-à-l’Écluse sector, please note that it is currently no longer possible to get there by vehicle. You will therefore have to plan the 3.4 km walk from the parking lot behind the ZEC reception.

➡Mount Dôme trail: Some snow, ice and mud depending on the sections.

➡Mount of the Lac-à-l’Empêche and du Four trail (Lac-à-L’Écluse sector) : Flooded section between the 2 mountains. Hardly passable. It is possible to go through a temporary bypass (unmarked). Otherwise, go back and forth on Mont du Lac-à-l’Empêche or do a loop in the other direction on Mont du Four via the shortcut. Some snow, ice and mud depending on the sections.

➡Other trails in the Lac à l’Écluse area: Some snow, ice and mud depending on the sections.

Registration required at the ZEC. Parking 500 m from reception.

For trails in the Lac à l’Écluse sector (ZEC des Martres), please remember that you will have to park 3.5 km from the trailhead (adding a total of 7 km to the duration of your hike) and that you must pay the ZEC access and parking fees (these fees do not include your contribution to the trails).

➡ Thru-hike trail: Some snow, ice and mud depending on the sections. We strongly recommend bringing crampons and snowshoes as conditions can change quickly – contact us before booking or traveling for more information.

We invite you to like La Traversée de Charlevoix’s Facebook page to follow the evolution of conditions.

Thank you and enjoy!
