Voyage estival à Long Range Traverse : Avis d'un voyageur numérique (et quelques conseils!)

Bonjour, mes amis voyageurs! Ready for an adventure? Let's explore the Long Range Traverse in Newfoundland, Canada, during that sweet spot between summer and fall, when the weather is perfect for a solo backpacking trip. I'm all about blending breathtaking landscapes with authentic cultural experiences. And Newfoundland? It’s got both in spades!

Imagine: crisp air, vibrant autumn colours starting to paint the hillsides, and a landscape that feels both wild and welcoming. The Long Range Traverse offers incredible hiking trails, perfect for a solo explorer like yourself. You can expect stunning coastal views, rugged mountains, and maybe even a glimpse of whales or icebergs (depending on the exact time of year). The weather during this shoulder season is generally mild, with average highs in the 15-20°C range, perfect for hiking during the day, but pack layers because evenings can get chilly.

Now, let’s talk food. Newfoundland cuisine is hearty and delicious! Think fresh seafood – think succulent lobster, mouthwatering cod, and juicy mussels. Don't miss out on trying Newfoundland Jiggs Dinner, a traditional Sunday meal of boiled salt beef, potatoes, turnips, and cabbage. Expect to pay around $20-30 CAD for a good meal at a local restaurant, or less if you opt for takeout or self-catering with groceries from local stores.

The people of Newfoundland are renowned for their friendly and welcoming nature. They're storytellers, musicians, and lovers of a good chat. You'll likely find yourself engaged in conversations with locals – stories of fishing traditions, historical events, or simply their daily lives. Embrace these moments; they're invaluable parts of the experience. Expect to hear lively folk music at local pubs or community events, often accompanied by traditional instruments and foot-tapping tunes.

Architecture in the region varies depending on the settlement, but expect to see charming fishing villages with colourful houses, reflecting the history of the area. You'll find both modern and historic buildings, often showcasing a blend of traditional and contemporary styles. Local pets might include dogs (often hardy breeds), and you’ll likely see common plants such as spruce, fir trees, and wild berries depending on location.

Transportation: Getting to the Long Range Traverse involves a flight to Deer Lake Regional Airport (YDF), followed by a bus or rental car to your chosen starting point on the trail. A rental car offers more flexibility but is more expensive (approximately $50-80 CAD per day). Public transport options are limited, so factor that into your plans. Expect to spend around $100-200 CAD on transportation, depending on your chosen method.

As for accommodation, you'll have several options: backcountry camping (free, but requires permits and appropriate gear), guesthouses ($50-100 CAD per night), or even booking a cabin for a more luxurious stay ($100-200 CAD per night). Remember to book in advance, especially during peak season.

Therefore, a reasonable budget for a 7-day trip to the Long Range Traverse could look like this:

Accommodation (7 nights, mix of camping and guesthouse): $350-700 CAD

Food (7 days): $140-210 CAD

Transportation: $100-200 CAD

Activities/Permits: $50-100 CAD (depending on what you do)

Total estimated cost: $640-1210 CAD (approximately 450-850 Euros)

Remember, this is just an estimate, and your actual cost will depend on your choices and travel style. But one thing is certain: a solo backpacking trip to the Long Range Traverse will be an unforgettable adventure, brimming with cultural riches and natural beauty. A bientôt, mes amis!
