About the activity

This winter hike in Jacques-Cartier National Park takes you out of Quebec City for a full day in the snow, with transport, park entry, equipment and lunch already organised. The park lies about 1 hour from Old Quebec, and the day starts with a pick-up between 7:30 and 8 a.m. at your accommodation in Old Quebec or at the HQ Services Touristiques X Tuque & mitaines office, in the Old Port. On the way, a stop at an artisan French bakery lets you choose your picnic lunch from a varied selection before you reach the park.

In the small-group option, the snowshoe hike covers about 5 km (3 miles) in around 3 hours, on a trail with roots, rocks and uphill and downhill sections. Depending on the snow conditions on the trails, you walk with snowshoes or crampons, both provided along with hiking poles. Along the way, a certified outdoor guide explains the history of the park and its flora, fauna and ecosystems, in French or English. With a maximum of 8 participants, there is time for questions and conversation. After this snowshoe outing in Jacques-Cartier National Park, lunch is served at the park’s Discovery and Services Centre, a break to share with the guide and the group before the drive back to Old Quebec, where you arrive around 2:30 p.m.

The outing suits beginner to intermediate hikers who are physically active and comfortable walking on uneven, snowy ground. The minimum age is 14, and participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Return transport, park entry fees, snowshoes or crampons, hiking poles and the bakery lunch are included; you only need to bring your own snacks, winter boots and warm clothing. If you prefer to explore with your own group, the private option offers up to 4 hours of hiking, with a route and level of difficulty chosen together with your guide.

From pick-up to drop-off, every logistical detail of this Jacques-Cartier National Park snowshoe hike is handled for you, which makes it a practical winter day out from Quebec City if you are travelling without a car. Small-group departures are limited to 8 participants and need a minimum of 2 to run, so booking ahead secures your place.
