 Winter Hike
It is possible to do various winter activities in the national parks that are crossed by the tail and, for the 2009 - 2010 winter season, the IAT - QC offers one opporutinity for backcountry cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, the Sentier des monts Clark in Matapedia Valley. The remaining of the trail is not blazed for winter and, even though wood is added at the beginning of the summer, it is not garanteed that there will be some left in the refuges when winter comes. For those reasons, the IAT - QC can not offer more opportunities but we want to change this situation over the years. 2009 Winter Season Opportunities : Sentier des monts Clark (Clark Mountains Trail)
Backcountry skiing, ungroomed trail Difficulty Level: Intermediate The access point is 4 kilometres north of Saint-André-de-Restigouche village, on the main road. One of the refuges (Turcotte) is 500 metres away from the parking area and the other one (Corbeau) is 10.1 kilometres away on the shortest way or 12.6 kilometres away on the longest way. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing lovers will enjoy the beauty of snow-covered plateaus and unforgetable sunsets at the Corbeau refuge. All-included Packages and Guide Service offered by:
