THE REGION

Discover Lanaudière

Between vast forests and pristine lakes, a wild territory to discover

Located in the Lanaudière region, just an hour from Montreal, BESIDE Habitat sits alongside 900 acres of preserved natural land. Here, crystal-clear lakes, winding trails, rugged peaks, and rocky cliffs come together to offer a playground where exploration meets contemplation.
Lanaudière is a region where nature takes center stage, with its winding rivers, majestic mountains and vast forests. Its rich natural and cultural heritage makes it a sought-after destination for those who cherish the outdoors and authenticity. Here, each season reshapes the landscape, offering an ever-evolving experience with each visit.

THE LAND

A region where rugged nature meets a gentle way of life.

With countless lakes, trails winding through dense forests and accessible mountains, Lanaudière is a place where adventure and tranquility go hand in hand. Local traditions, from food to craftsmanship, are deeply rooted in this preserved region.

In this exceptional environment, BESIDE Habitat chose to integrate rather than dominate. No cottages were built along the lakeshores, preserving their purity and offering a truly immersive experience. A 30- to 45-minute hike is required to access them and fully enjoy the calm and solitude they offer.
