What could be better than living for a while an extraordinary experience. To live among nature elements that seem sometimes out of reach. Imago Village offers this opportunity. Located in Monts Valin, it offers the glamping concept, a more glamorous type of camping. This ready-to-camp experience would be perfect for this new spring season. Monts Valin are filled with so much natural snow that the snowmobile season lasts until the end of April and even later sometimes. In fact, it is usual to see 2,4 to 3 m/8 to 10 ft of snow in the middle of April. For example, for the 5th year, I will go back in Monts Valin on the second week of April to extend my winter activities. We only have to get there to see it. On- and off-trail snowmobilers can enjoy fabulous mountain landscape. We can go snowmobiling over many hundreds of kilometers without riding on the same trail. Each year, when I get in the region of Monts Valin, I feel like arriving in a totally different world and now, I call it “The other country”.
A nice way to discover the mounts is without doubt to stay at Imago Village, 45 minutes from Chicoutimi. You can easily get there by car or also by the Trans-Québec #93 snowmobile trail for a direct access to the site. Outdoors fans will enjoy all the activities that are offered outside. Snowshoeing is very popular; within a few-hour adventure, you will be charmed by the remarkable view on the Vallée des fantômes. Located about 1 kilometer from Imago Village, Le Valinouët Ski Resort, 100 % natural snow, is open until mid-April. What else is available nearby? Fat bike, nordic spa, Zoo de Falardeau, Sépaq National Parks. Close to Le Valinouët, you will find a gas station, a convenience store and restaurants. Like the region of Saguenay, the residents are friendly and helpful without being invasive.
Imago Village is a revolutionary lodging concept imagined by its two owners : Martine Houde and Martin Thibeault. They have plenty of ideas to develop their business of making yurts and renting 5-Star beautiful yurts. These modern structures of 5 m/16 ft have electricity and are equipped with wood pellet stove, double bed, single bed, sofa-bed and dry toilet. A few feet away are the sanitary facilities with large clean showers. Also, in the center of the micro-village, the main yurt offers restauration services in a festive and relaxed atmosphere. You can even enjoy a sunbath on the outdoor terrace. At night, take time to observe stars from your own yurt; you will be enchanted by the pure sky with maybe some northern lights. Imago Village is open all year round and outdoor activities in Monts Valin are also offered all year round.
For more details on this ready-to-camp concept, the two owners invite you to visit their sites www.imagostructures.com and www.imagovillage.com for lodging or call at 1-844-424-6246.
