From September onwards, Nunavik’s tundra and taiga landscapes take on a striking palette of colours ranging from bright red to blazing orange, on land and in the sky. It’s the perfect time to go hiking, watch amazing sunsets painted across the sky and pick colourful wild berries to the soothing murmur of rivers and the song of migratory birds. The northern lights also begin to illuminate the nights in shades of purple, blue and green, adding a touch of magic to this time of year. A trip to admire the fall colours of Nunavik is a unique precursor to reconnecting with nature and soaking up the beauty of this northern region.

Located north of the 49th parallel, Les ÉcoGîtes du Lac Matagami offer you a getaway in the heart of the boreal forest. On the shores of the majestic Lake Matagami, the site offers many lodging options, including cottages, yurts and campgrounds. It’s a wonderful place to watch a spectacular sunset, admire the northern lights or harvest the bounty of the land, such as matsutake, a popular mushroom in Japan.

Totalling just over three kilometres, the eight short hiking trails in the Parc régional de la rivière Mitis invite you to observe plant life and various bird species.

The park also boasts various ecosystems, a marsh and a forest, as well as a long beach on the edge of Baie de Mitis, where you can stroll and enjoy the exceptional view of the river. Who knows, you might even spot a seal!
