Chic-Chocs Mountain Lodge

Quebec

By:

TAGS: AVALANCHE TRANSCEIVER, HERO GLADES, BEER ICE CREAM
As a rule, we approve of any lodge that issues avalanche transceivers with the room keys. This 18-room property, perched at 3,000 feet among the steep crags of Quebec's seldom-visited Chic-Choc Mountains, is reachable only via snowcat in winter. Once you arrive, pick up your transceiver, two-way radio, and choice of randonnée gear or split-board for tackling the nearby peaks and 40-degree glades. (Guides are available on request.) In summer, take a loaner mountain bike on 30 miles of trail or scramble up 3,428-foot Mont Coleman, framed in the lodge's giant windows. Also worth noting: they serve beer ice cream after dinner. US$320 per person per night; sepaq.com/ct/amc
