That said, its location at the foot of Mont-Orford also makes it the ideal base from which to enjoy winter hiking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some tips on how best to enjoy the region\u2019s snow-covered trails\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check the Weather and the Trail Conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It goes without saying that in Quebec, no matter what the time of year, temperatures can change quite suddenly. A beautiful, sunny morning can, without warning, be transformed into a howling snowstorm\u2014one of the main reasons why it\u2019s a good idea to check the weather before setting off. Usually, if bad weather is on its way, the TV channels, social media, websites, etc., will announce it in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If in doubt, don&#8217;t second guess the conditions on the trails\u2014cancel your outing! You can tackle the mountain another time. It\u2019s not going anywhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If, after checking it out, the weather seems fine, then go ahead and plan your outing.

Are you aware, for example, that after 4 p.m. you must wear a headlamp on Mont-Orford\u2019s alpine trails?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The headlamp requirement is a safety measure, and depending on which trails you plan to hike, wearing crampons and taking along trekking poles, a compass and maybe even snowshoes, is a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not sure exactly what to take? This is where the pros come in! You\u2019ll find them at <a href=\"https:\/\/montorford.com\/en-ca\/winter\/services\/boutique\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">SkiV\u00e9lo<\/span><\/a>, which has a boutique at the base of the mountain and another in <a href=\"https:\/\/skivelo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">downtown Magog<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Load Up on \u201cFuel\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to have enough energy to enjoy the hike, it\u2019s wise to \u201cfuel up\u201d before leaving. <a href=\"https:\/\/espace4saisons.com\/en\/bistro\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Bistro 4 Saisons<\/span><\/a>, within the Espace 4 Saisons hotel, serves a <a href=\"https:\/\/espace4saisons.com\/en\/bistro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">hearty breakfast<\/span><\/a> from Tuesday to Sunday. Choose a dish high in protein and carbs, such as Eggs Benedict with ham, a brioche sandwich, or eggs (any way you like!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you\u2019re walking, remember to stay hydrated! Perhaps because it\u2019s cold, we tend to feel less thirsty than on a hot summer\u2019s day but when we expend energy, we lose just as much fluid. If a sip of cold water doesn\u2019t seem too appealing, then instead bring along a herbal tea, a decaf coffee or a hot chocolate in an insulated food container. A hot drink will warm you up and quench your thirst at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, after all that physical exercise, reward yourself with a local beer and\/or a good meal.
