Take a ski-shoeing tour in the Jacques Cartier National Park from Quebec City!

Quatre Natures invites you to discover snowshoe skiing in Parc national Jacques-Cartier, also known as ski-hok. This new sport created in Quebec combines the advantages of snowshoeing and cross-country skiing and is perfect for exploring Quebec's snowy trails.

From Old Quebec, you'll head to Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier. Once there, your instructor will introduce you to ski-hoks in Quebec and help you get kitted out. You'll then start with an initiation on the trails to get used to the ski-hok and head off to a refuge to enjoy a picnic. After lunch, you'll head off-piste to discover one of Quebec's most famous national parks and all the advantages of snowshoeing in Quebec, both up and down the powder.

During a snowshoe ski tour in Quebec, you'll be able to take in the incredible forest scenery, discover breathtaking views of the Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier and, if you're lucky, come across a few animals.

Don't hesitate to set off on an incredible day of snowshoe skiing in Jacques-Cartier national park from Quebec City with Quatre Natures!
