    Escape to the great outdoors of Quebec with a day of winter hiking in the Forêt Ouareau Regional Park from Montreal!

    A variety of hiking trails for all levels await you in the Forêt Ouareau Regional Park, a superb natural park that you will reach by minibus from Montreal. Led by a guide who will share his knowledge of the region's culture and history, the 1.5-hour trip will take you to either the Pont-Suspendu or Massif sectors, depending on your choice:

    Pont-Suspendu sector - an area full of easy trails where you and your family can enjoy a winter walk in the Forêt Ouareau Regional Park, either on foot, on snowshoes or with crampons, which you can rent on site;

    Massif sector - a site offering intermediate to advanced level trails that you can enjoy not only on foot, with snowshoes or crampons, but also cross-country skiing if you feel like it!

    Itineraries ranging from 2 to over 20 km await you, with a vertical drop of up to 910 metres depending on the route you choose. So if you love the great outdoors and want to get away from Montreal for a day, book your place on this winter hiking trip in the Forêt Ouareau Regional Park!
