Tips for Summer Hiking<\/h1>\n\n\n

Now that you\u2019ve stored your skis, snowshoes, and skates, it\u2019s time to get out your walking boots. The summer season has finally arrived! Leave your luggage at Espace 4 Saisons and head for the hiking trails. The resort is a stone\u2019s throw from Mont Orford National Park and only a couple of minutes from some of the Eastern Townships\u2019 most beautiful outdoor attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following is a brief guide to enjoying a summer hike to the max! By preparing a few things in advance before you tackle the trails, you can concentrate on absorbing the beauty and tranquility of the natural surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Put In Your Backpack<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Always make sure your water bottle remains topped up and that you take along plenty of nutritious snacks (pack more than you think you\u2019ll need, just in case!) The important thing is to decide whether you\u2019re going to take a long or a short walk. That\u2019ll give you a rough idea of how much food and drink to prepare beforehand.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although trees provide some shade when hiking through the woods, you should also cover yourself with sunscreen and wear a head covering and sunglasses. Packing a small bottle of insect repellent is a good idea as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

Even if it\u2019s hot, bring a windbreaker, preferably waterproof. In the mountains, the weather can change very quickly, and you could encounter a sudden downpour! If you have space left in your backpack, you might want to add a foil blanket to keep you warm in case of inclement weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A mini first aid kit could come in handy too. You can find one at a pharmacy or a sports\/outdoor store, or alternately just create your own<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you head out, make sure that your cellphone is fully charged! Using it as a GPS uses up a lot of power. Otherwise, bring along a compass and a trail map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mount Orford, which is very close to Espace 4 Saisons, is of course, one of the best places to hike in the Townships. Walking circuits, boardwalks, lookout points and breathtaking views await\u2014the perfect \u201crecipe\u201d for a great outdoor experience. Check out the trail map<\/a> and get ready for a wonderful outdoor adventure!   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wanting to walk with the family? If so, head for the Marais de la Rivi\u00e8re-aux-Cerises<\/a> in Magog, where you\u2019ll find five kilometres of trails. Some are boardwalks, others are gravel, but they are all easy and can be negotiated by people of all ages and levels of ability. Incidentally, the Magog marsh is crossed by the longest stretch of raised boardwalk in Quebec\u20141.2km!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interested in exploring other areas in the region that offer great hiking? Check out the Eastern Townships Tourism website<\/a>, where you will find trails in the following regions: Orford, Bromont, Coaticook, Lac-M\u00e9gantic, Sherbrooke, Granby, and more\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recharge Your Batteries<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After a day of physical activity, you\u2019ll probably want to rest your body to ensure that you aren\u2019t left with aching muscles! First stop\u2014the jacuzzi and indoor\/outdoor swimming pool at Espace 4 Saisons. Unwind while taking in the splendid mountain view\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeling in need of pampering? Well then, head for the D\u00f4me de Morph\u00e9e aesthetic spa<\/a>. It\u2019s located within the hotel complex, and you can book a relaxing massage (your tight muscles will appreciate that!) or an exfoliating treatment. In next to no time, you\u2019ll be ready to take to the trails once again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
