Located in the highland of Bas-Saint-Laurent, right in the middle of the idyllic forest and mountain surroundings of Saint-Gabriel-de-Rimouski, Domaine Valga has all the ingredients for great wintertime vacations: a perfect environment for winter activities, cozy lodging and high-quality cuisine served in a relaxed atmosphere.

Snowmobiling enthusiasts will be delighted because the inn is right on Trail #579, just a few kilometres away from the junction with Trans-Québec Trail #5. This ensures an easy access for snowmobilers, and makes Domaine Valga an excellent choice to use as a base to explore the area for a few days. No surprise that it is a snowmobile clubhouse from January 8 to March 20. Over that period, breakfasts and lunches are served seven days a week in the vast dining room.

If you prefer self-propelled activities, you can enjoy the unique winter scenery of the Domaine’s sugar bushes while exploring them on snowshoes, whether on trails or off-trail. Moreover, a cross-country skiing trail of Parc du Mont-Comi runs through the property, which allows you to connect to the park’s trail network and extend your skiing session as you wish. Downhill skiers will also be delighted to know that Parc du Mont-Comi ski area is located just 15 km away from Domaine Valga. Another activity not to be missed is Forêt de Maître Corbeau, a treetop trekking circuit (suspension bridges, climbing nets and Tyrolean traverse) that will please old and young alike. There’s something in for all the family!

Domaine Valga is also home of Eastern Québec’s largest log inn. The inn has nine rooms skillfully decorated in a rustic atmosphere, with Internet access so that you can let your people back home know about everything you have done outside during the day. If you are coming with a larger group, you can book one of the three cottages, also made of logs, located right on the lake, with a capacity of 11 guests each.

Various packages are offered including the night at the inn and breakfast, as well as dinner in a table d’hôte format based on typical regional cuisine.
