Canada is known to be a popular destination in all seasons. But from mid-September, the heat of summer gives way to autumnal magic. Mother Nature has undoubtedly spoiled the "Great White North".
Driving in Canada in the fall is like walking through a fireworks display of colours. Tinged with bright orange and yellow, the road offers us a picture worthy of Van Gogh. This particular period reminds us of the beauty that nature has to offer us. Dear travellers, here's why choose Canada as your top destination this fall.
Winter is not far away, so October is the perfect opportunity for any Canadian to escape one last time and take a trip to the heart of nature. A good plan to finally say goodbye to summer. Algonquin Park for Torontonians, Mont-Tremblant for Montrealers or Banff National Park for Vancouverites, the four corners of the country have something to dazzle us with its reddish and orange shades. Here is a list of the three favorite spots of the editorial staff to admire the change of season.
Mont-Tremblant, Quebec
Step out of the ordinary by visiting this popular ski resort during the fall, the colors are warm and intense. The vast territory still has a lot to offer before the arrival of the sliding season. Standing in the heart of the mountain and bordered by Lake Tremblant, a small colorful village welcomes you and becomes the starting point for many opportunities. Bike trip, climbing on the rock faces, sledding or flying over the site by the panoramic gondola, the escape is total. Venture to the top of the mountain, the change of color that takes place on the site gives it its special atmosphere. The cold that we feel there is nothing compared to the mythical view that the landscape reveals to us.
Algonquin Park, Ontario
Drive along the incredible Highway 60 to reach this must-see jewel of Ontario. September and October give you time to spend time through Ontario's oldest and most famous provincial park. From the outset, the 7,630 km² site stands out with a fascinating color palette, which will amaze young and old alike. About fifteen trails run along the place, of varying difficulty and length. Arm yourself with your hiking shoes and let yourself be carried away in the heart of the wilderness. It is in mid-October that the change of color of the foliage reaches its peak, and the "Lookout trail" is a must do at this time. Breathtaking view and breath of fresh air guaranteed!
On your way, you have the opportunity to meet various wild animals. "Chipmunks", species present mainly in North America, squirrels, wolves or black bears, be observant.
Larch Valley, Banff, Alberta
If Western Canada appeals to you, there's no need to remind you that Banff is its premier destination. Worthy of a postcard, the heights of Alberta National Park are worth a visit. Near Moraine Lake, hikers from all over the world have a blast on the famous Larch Valley trail. The larch forest shines with its golden color, a free and undoubtedly unforgettable spectacle.
"Living in Canada means living in four different countries… one country per season ," said Michel Conte. Fall in Canada is an experience you will never forget.
