Quebec offers cross-country skiers – young and old, recreational and competitive – an amazing diversity of trails. There is nothing more enchanting than a cross-country ski trip on a beautiful layer of fresh snow through our snowy valleys and forests. There are hundreds of kilometers of trails to choose from, whether you’re a classic skier or a skater, in the mood for a short stroll or a real expedition. On your own in a regional park or with a guide from a Quality-Safety certified business, you can’t help but enjoy this very complete physical activity that can be practiced without moderation.
