Canot à Glace Expérience

Julien, a former competitor and founder, wanted to share his passion by introducing people to the St. Lawrence River in winter and teaching them how to ice canoe. This experience is a real leap into the past and into Quebec tradition.

But do you know where ice canoeing comes from? Well, it is not a recent invention... In the 17th century, it was vital to create a link between Lévis and Quebec City. The solution? Canoes and their paddlers, whose purpose was to transport goods or people. With the modernisation of transport, the profession of canoeist disappeared but gave rise to the sport of ice canoeing, which is now part of Quebec's intangible heritage.

The quality of the experience in these state-of-the-art carbon boats and safety are paramount for the entire Canot à Glace Expérience team. So come back to the era of the canoeists for a few hours and enjoy a winter experience that is unique in the world, filled with thrills aboard an ice canoe!
