Relais 22 Milles

Deep in the forests north of La Tuque, in La Croche, Relais 22 Milles is a year-round roadside stop and lodging hub at the junction of the Outaouais, Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean and Haute-Mauricie regions. Founded more than 60 years ago as a lumberjacks' camp — its name recalls the 22 miles (about 35 km) that once separated it from Windigo station — the Relais is today a true outdoor hub. It offers 19 single- or double-occupancy rooms, a restaurant (à la carte and table d'hôte), a reception and meeting hall, a convenience store, a grocery and a gas station. Anchored on the Trans-Québec 83 snowmobile trail — the only fuel stop between Saguenay and La Tuque — it opens onto more than 340 km of federated trails and a multitude of unmarked trails for snowmobiling and quad riding. The Relais also offers all-inclusive bear and small-game hunting packages (meals, nights and baited sites), guided off-trail snowmobile outings and lodging packages with meals.
