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.
Set out to discover the Tourisme Nunavik visitor region, and all the immensity of the tundra and taiga north of the 55th parallel. Known as Northern Quebec’s Arctic region, among other attractions Nunavik has countless lakes sculpted by glaciers, as well as Pingualuit Crater. The Inuit, Aboriginal Canadians who rely on hunting and fishing, gladly share their traditions and culture with you, guiding you around Nunavik on foot, by dog-sled or snowmobile, and taking you out to see the magnificent aurora borealis in one of Nunavut’s three Quebec National Parks ? Parc national des Pingualuit, Parc national Kuururjuaq and Parc national Tursujuq. The habitat of seals, polar bears, snowy owls, wolves, caribou and many northern bird species, this virgin territory spans 507,000 sq. km across Northern Quebec.
