Just like us, dogs LOVE to walk or run in nature! Canicross allows you to enjoy a special moment with your canine companion or with a sled dog and its musher, who will teach you a trick or two. To learn the basics of this exhilarating activity, rely on a Quality-Safety certified business that will match you with a dog that suits your abilities. Some of the regional parks in our network also have trails where canicross is allowed to dog owners and their furry friends. A true team effort between human and dog, canicross is an unforgettable experience for all nature lovers.
Charlevoix is a region where natural and cultural attractions pair up with soaring mountains and the colossal St. Lawrence River. A UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, the Tourisme Charlevoix visitor region is a must-see for practising outdoor and adventure activities. Both Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie and Parc national des Grands-Jardins offer a full lineup of outdoor activities including hiking, via ferrata, canoeing, kayaking, Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, dog-sledding and snowmobiling. See the region’s 350 million-year-old crater, plan a long-distance hike on La Traversée de Charlevoix’s 100 km trail that crisscrosses the backcountry, offering beautiful vistas across the region, or the more daring can try winter kayaking amid the ice floes. This is but a short list of the territory’s many assorted visitor experiences.
