Winter Snowshoe Tour in Jacques-Cartier National Park from Quebec City
This guided snowshoe tour in Jacques-Cartier National Park offers a personalized winter experience with hotel pickup, suitable for all skill levels.
Description
Snowshoeing provides a different way to explore Jacques-Cartier National Park while enjoying outdoor winter activity and gentle exercise. No previous experience is required—if you can walk, you can snowshoe.
The 4-hour tour includes gear and easy-to-follow techniques, making it accessible for beginners and advanced participants. Your professional guide will share insights about Quebec’s forest ecosystem and help you capture photos of the winter landscape. Wildlife such as deer, moose, squirrel, and porcupine are easier to spot against the snow.
You will be picked up at your hotel in Quebec City and transported by bus to the park’s main lodge. After receiving your snowshoes and poles, the guide will lead you through quiet trails where you can stop for breaks and photos.
