Snowshoeing

Things to do at the Parc Winter activities

Snowshoeing is undoubtedly one of the most accessible, enjoyable and easy sports there is. Whether you're on the trail to admire the wildlife and plant-life, take in some fresh air or re-energize your spirits, this activity is tailored to tame winter in the best way possible.

The trail's departure point is located in front of the Hélène-de-Champlain building, and as you go along, you will have the opportunity to discover Mont Boullé, the Lévis Tower and all of the beauty nature has to offer.
