Autumn is that brief magical interlude when the mountains are adorned with red, gold, and orange.
The mornings are cool, the coffee tastes better, and Quebec’s roads seem made for driving slowly, with no specific itinerary.
For Go-Van.Club members, it’s also the perfect time to discover or rediscover our spaces. Unique places to sleep, hike, taste, and soak up nature before the snow settles in.
Here are a few destinations that deserve a spot on your fall itinerary.
1. Mont-Edouard — Mountain adventure
Located in the heart of Saguenay, Mont-Edouard is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking, mountain biking, spectacular views: it has it all. After a day of activity, you can sleep right there, surrounded by vibrant mountain scenery.
