WINTER CAMPING EXPERIENCE Are you the type of person that enjoy testing their limits and love being outside of their comfort zone? If your answer is YES, then this glamping opportunity is just for you! Disclaimer: it really is cold inside the dôme (yes, for real), even with the help of our wood stove. 

So it really is a winter camping experience. That being said, here are the advantages of choosing this dome! *Please read to the end to determine if the dome is the right accommodation for you this winter.* Why choose this winter camping dome? For starter, no need to bring your tent, no trying to put up an awning in the dark or in a snow storm; the Dome is already up and ready to welcome you!
 No sleeping on the ground, a bed is waiting with bedding provided. (We strongly suggest you bring your sleeping bags as well)
. No need to use your camping stove as the wood stove is available to heat up your meals and coffee. (You can bring your own firewood or we can provide some on site for extra charge)
. Basic cooking equipment (full list below) will make you happy.
 No need to dig a latrine in the forest. A wonderful albeit cold portable toilet is waiting for you in a little cabin just outside the dome. 

 This winter, choose camping at it’s simplest! Very 


Important: The Dome is only accessible with high-clearance 4-WHEEL DRIVE vehicles during the winter.  The dome provides, during the winter time, a true wilderness experience that requires Basic wilderness skills and a willingness to accept the challenges of such an adventure. It is completely off of the grid meaning no electricity and no water or shower available. We welcome backcountry skiers, wildlife enthusiasts, hikers and anyone else who enjoys the challenge of winter camping.


 What to do in the winter time in and around St-Mathieu-du-Parc; 

You are 23 minutes away from Vallée du Parc ski resort.
 The mountain boasts a ski area open 7 days / 4 evenings with 33 slopes (1 for backcountry skiing), including 2 family slopes, 8 in the forest and 2 snow parks.
Restaurant/bar 360 is also available on site. 

 Fan of cross-country skiing? You are in luck; 8 minutes away from the Dôme, Le Huard is waiting for you with 5 different options depending on your level.
 Not enough for you and wanting more? Explore 35 km of panoramic slopes suitable for all levels at le Baluchon, 32 minutes away from your Dome. 
Prefer snowshoeing? At le Parc Récréoforestier, you will fall in love with la Chute du Diable loop (9 km) or you can opt for shorter loops ( from 3,4 km to 7 km). All this located 14 minutes away from your Dôme.

 Want to do some backcountry skiing? Look no further, Mont SM is there to assuage your thirst of wilderness for only 18 minutes of driving. (Special condition applies for this location, we can give you more infos upon your reservation with us). 

Camping in winter means you will find quieter hiking trails, fewer crowds and lots of peace and quiet. It offers uninterrupted time away from routine and the chaos of day to day life.

Tout était parfait dans ce dôme! Nous avons profité de la belle pluie et du feu de foyer pour relaxer. Nous le conseillons à tout le monde!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour au dôme de la torture blanche! Alexandra est super gentille du début de notre conversation en ligne jusqu’à notre rencontre pour nous expliquer les détails. Très propre et bien entretenu. Je recommande fortement!

Une nuit sous le Dôme
Nous avons adoré dormir sous le dôme dans la forêt. C’était d’une tranquillité incroyable, extrêmement propre et d’un confort très douillet. Alexandra nous a fait un très bel accueil et elle nous a donné de belles directives pour visiter le parc national de la Mauricie. Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir pour une autre belle aventure.

Our stay at Alexandra's dome was absolutely fantastic! The dome itself was so cozy and beautiful. Alexandra was an awesome host, she showed us around and even made sure the wood stove was burning when we arrived. We totally recommend staying here!

Unique dome stay & wonderful host!
Absolutely loved the stay at the dome! Alexandra met me at the entrance and walkede through everything. It's a unique place to stay and I very much enjoyed it. She was very kind and started a fire for me as the night was getting chilly and it was a cozy place to spend the night! I definitely recommend staying here!
