Discover Autumn at Refuge du Lièvre Rouge

Autumn is a season of change and transition, inviting us to slow down and reconnect with nature. At Refuge du Lièvre Rouge, this time of year is marked by a dazzling display of colors, where the forest transforms day by day. Starting in mid-September, the trees are adorned with vibrant shades of red, gold, and orange, bringing the Festival of Colors to life—a natural event not to be missed.

Autumn Activities

• Forest Hikes: Traverse trails filled with a thousand colors and discover the changing landscapes at every turn.
• Cycling Adventures: Take advantage of the last mild days of autumn to explore the P’tit Train du Nord trail by bike, before the snow covers the paths.
• Canoeing or Kayaking: Paddle on the lake, still free of ice, and admire the reflection of autumn colors on the water.
• Campfires: There’s nothing like an evening around a campfire to conclude a day of outdoor adventures.
• Cozy Cabin Atmosphere: As the evenings get cooler, it’s the perfect time to create a cozy atmosphere in our cabins with a warm wood stove fire.

The Magic of the Festival of Colors

Autumn ushers in a spectacular transformation, as the trees don their most beautiful attire.

The End of Autumn: The Arrival of the First Blanket of Snow

As autumn progresses into November and December, nature begins to prepare for winter. This is the time when the first blanket of snow gently covers the ground, gradually transforming the landscape into an emerging winter scene. Forest walks take on a new dimension as the first snowflakes create a peaceful and magical atmosphere. It’s the perfect time to cozy up by the fire after a stroll through this newly snow-dusted scenery.
