Snowshoeing in Quebec

Snowshoeing Snowshoeing is a very popular sport that’s perfect for the whole family. It’s true that traditional snowshoes have practically been reinvented; they are much lighter and easier to use, making for a trendy activity. Feeling truly free, snowshoers can discover the richness of nature and the diversity of winter fauna. After a good heavy snowfall, there’s nothing more enjoyable than setting out to conquer the sparkling, white landscapes! Several parks offer snowshoe rental services and can give you advice on which trail best suits your interests and physical condition. Some parks, like Parc national du Mont-Mégantic, also offer packages that include torch-lit snowshoe outings under the stars. For the more adventurous, there are long trails in the mountains with shelters where you can sleep, such as at Parc national de la Gaspésie.
