Le Refuge cabin and mountain emblem Le RefugeAU CŒUR DU VILLAGE Check availability

A four-season guide to the village.

Stay in.
Or step out.

A day at Le Refuge can be as full or as unhurried as you like. Wander through the village, enjoy the lake, breathe in the Laurentian air and let the mountain set the pace. When the mood calls for a little indulgence, savour the unhurried pleasures of Saint-Sauveur.

Your morning coffee, just 90 m away.

NO ITINERARY REQUIRED

The best part?
You’re already there.

Le Refuge sits in the heart of Saint-Adolphe-d’Howard, close enough to leave the car behind for the village’s simple pleasures. Sleep in. Linger over a rich, aromatic coffee. Stroll through the village, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and enjoy the luxury of not having to plan the next step.

A LITTLE FARTHER

Worth the detour.

THE VILLAGE · ON FOOT

A good day can start
just down the street.

Walk into the village for a coffee, settle in for a meal, or stop by the local brewery. When there’s live music on, let the evening stretch a little longer. No complicated plan—just a small village with good places to pause.

  • Local cafés and easy breakfasts
  • Restaurants and a village brewery
  • Live music and low-key evenings

LAC SAINT-JOSEPH · CLOSE BY

Follow the day
down to the water.

Head to the public beach for an easy summer afternoon, or bring a paddleboard or kayak and slip onto the lake. Pack a book, a towel and very little else.

  • Public beach access
  • Paddleboard and kayak access
  • Room for a slow, sun-soaked afternoon

MONT AVALANCHE · JUST UP THE ROAD

One mountain.
All summer.

Avalanche Mountain keeps the outdoors close all summer. Hike for fresh air and wide views, or take to the mountain-bike trails when the ground is dry.

  • Hiking in the warmer months
  • Mountain biking on local trails
  • Fresh air close to the village

A LITTLE FARTHER, STILL EASY

Two good reasons
to take the scenic route.

SAINT-SAUVEUR

Dinner, then a long exhale.

Make an outing of it with a wider choice of restaurants, then slow the pace at a spa. It’s an easy change of scene when you feel like venturing beyond the village.

SAINTE-AGATHE-DES-MONTS

A glass of wine. A café table.

Head toward Sainte-Agathe for a relaxed wine-bar stop or an afternoon coffee—just enough of an outing before coming home to the quiet.

COME BACK WHENEVER YOU LIKE

The fire will still
be waiting.

Some days are for the mountain, the lake or a table in town. Others are for coffee on the terrace and nowhere else. At Le Refuge, both count as time well spent.
