How to get to SAN

By car

We’re about 4 hours from Montreal, 3 hours from Quebec City, and just over 2 hours from Trois-Rivières.
Access is entirely by asphalt road, well maintained all the way to SAN.

After leaving the city, you’ll take Highway 155 North, a winding road that follows the valley floor of the majestic Saint-Maurice River. The route offers superb views of the surrounding mountains, with spectacular waterfalls and scenery along the way.

At kilometer 155, turn off at the Curé-Normandin rest area and take the road to Lac-Édouard.
You’ll then cover a 30-kilometre stretch affectionately known as the “Russian Mountains”… We’ll let you guess why!

As you arrive, you’ll pass through the charming village of Lac-Édouard, then catch sight of the old heritage barn and water tower: you’ve arrived at the SAN.

By train

Follow the historic rail route of explorers and lovers of the great outdoors, a legendary route that crosses mythical river and forest landscapes that have left their mark on the imagination of our ancestors.

From Montreal’s Central Station, the Montreal-Jonquière train (VIA Rail) takes you along the majestic Batiscan River to Lac-Édouard. The journey takes around 7 hours, through spectacular natural scenery, on one of the oldest railroads linking northern Quebec.

The SAN awaits you just a few hours from Montreal: a train getaway where, from the moment you board, the adventure begins and every minute takes you away from everyday life.
