Mount Severson

The Severson Mountains create a transition zone between boreal forest, taiga and alpine tundra. Perennials and wild fruits are found here. Huge boulders can be seen on the Piton trail, which leads to the Faille trail. The latter leads to the Severson Mountains fault, 15 m long and 4 m deep, where you can enter to see a variety of mosses in different shapes and colors. Accessible from these trails, the Cairns Trail passes through an alpine environment populated by lichens and offers panoramic views of the Severson Mountains massif, whose peaks reach almost 900 m in altitude. It provides access to the Lacreux trail, which leads to the mountain lake of the same name. There is also access to the Roff, passing through peat bogs. The Severson Fermont trail leads to the old Chinese mine and a sand pit at the base of the mountain, before continuing on to Fermont.

Some trails, like the Severson Fermont, are for advanced hikers who need to know their way around. Especially in winter. There are no markers. Snowshoeing is off-trail, and conditions can change rapidly.

Note: Caribou are present on the territory. Bibs must be worn during the hunting season.
