Went on a multi-activity holiday with Aventures Nouvelle France (highly recommended if you are based in France - flights out of Paris), and stayed at the Auberge for a week. In the snow, the (frozen) lakeside setting is picturesque and we found that there were lots of activities on offer at the hotel during the evenings when we returned from our action-packed days out. At night, the whole place is lit up with a cosy, alpine lodge feel. The remote location was a plus for us, as we wanted a tranquil holiday. Star-gazing on an evening walk was a highlight. A great base for snow-mobiling (motoneige) and quad-biking. Husky-sledding, cross country skiing, snow-shoeing and ice skating also available. Our room was spacious and well-equipped. The buffet-breakfasts were plentiful and the evening meals we had were good (although portion-sizes were sometimes small and vegetables a bit on the undercooked side). All staff were friendly and service as very good. Didn't use the spa or pool as our days were filled with the activities. Would highly recommend for a winter holiday.
