Information

The rustic cabin of the Taïga bears its name well. Not that far off and a little aback from the Caribou and Écureuil cabin, you will be surprised by the carpet of moss and lichen as well as the alpine vegetation that surrounds it. The cabin is located close to the starting point of many well loved hiking trails, such as the Mont du Four and Lac à l'Empêche trails and the Summits trail, just to name a few. 


During the summer, the parking lot of the Lac à l'Écluse is 350 meters from the cabin. In the winter, there is about a 4 km trek on skis or snowshoes from the Zec des martres parking lot since the road is not accessible by car in the winter time. 


Please note: You must pass by our reception (135 rang St-François, KM 10.6 on route 381) to pick up the keys.

The Zec charges an access fee per vehicle to use the road leading to the Lac-à-l’Écluse where the Caribou, the Taïga and the J-P Cadot cabins are located.

We encourage you pay the access fee online (at least 2 days in advance) directly on the Zec website.

Exterior fires are strictly prohibited.
