Enjoy some winter fun with snowshoeing. Once an essential means of winter travel for the indigenous people, snowshoeing has evolved over the years to become one of Quebec’s most popular cold season pastimes. Wherever you go in the province, you will find marked trails to explore with your snowshoes on. Whether you’re looking for a gentle family outing or a serious adventure, there’s something for everyone! No more excuses to stay indoors this winter: snowshoes are your best ally to explore our snowy territory.
