Itinerary description
Hike date: 22/11/2014
This last minute late season hike presented us with a wonderful winter wonderland. The snows had arrived relatively early and at reasonably low altitudes this year, so we were treated to snow capped mountains and frozen lakes. We took the walk in a leisurely fashion, meaning we only saw one of the lakes - lac Petit. Longer hikes are available, including the option to scale Mont Pépoiri should you wish.
Access is pretty good, with a well tarmacked single track road (although with a fair amount of potholes at the time) taking you up to a decent sized car park.
Rated moderate (for two 30-somethings of average fitness) due to a steep incline early on and snow covered paths without raquette à neige. Ordinarily would be easy.
Total distance: 4.76 km (3.0 mi)
Total time: 3:20:20
Moving time: 3:09:16
Average speed: 1.42 km/h (0.9 mi/h)
Average moving speed: 1.51 km/h (0.9 mi/h)
Max speed: 7.20 km/h (4.5 mi/h)
Average pace: 42:07 min/km (67:47 min/mi)
Average moving pace: 39:47 min/km (64:02 min/mi)
Fastest pace: 8:20 min/km (13:25 min/mi)
Max elevation: 2294 m (7527 ft)
Min elevation: 2072 m (6798 ft)
Elevation gain: 289 m (948 ft)
Max grade: 33 %
Min grade: -35 %

Fait en ce début janvier, avec les crampons neige sur une partie. Facile et agréable pour une petite sortie de l'aprem.
