15min north of Petit Karibou you'll find Nakkertok's laid-back northern access point with its own beautiful summer and winter trail network and chalet. Nakkertok South and Nakkertok North (Val-des-Monts)are linked together through a 24 km North-South corridor. This corridor between Val-des-Monts and Nakkertok South is challenging, and goes through fairly isolated areas, so it is particularly important not to ski these stretches alone! Take emergency supplies — extra clothing, food, water and matches.
