Halfway between Quebec City and the Saguenay Fjord, come and discover the Grands-Jardins National Park on a guided winter hike!

4.8 km of trails await you this winter on this guided hike in the Grands-Jardins National Park, in the heart of the Charlevoix region. Accompanied by a park warden who knows the area like the back of his hand, you will have the pleasure of following the La Chouenne trail to discover the park's superb natural setting and enjoy superb panoramic views of the surrounding area. In a group of no more than 12 hikers, you will enjoy a pleasant Charlevoix hike in a small group!

As snow is generally present here in winter, snowshoes or crampons will be provided if necessary to help you on this guided winter hike in the Grands-Jardins National Park. You will set off for around 2.5 hours, on an out-and-back route with a 250-metre vertical drop: children aged 10 and over are accepted if they can cover 4.8 km and, above all, if they like walking! At the end of your hike in the Grands-Jardins National Park, hot chocolate will be served at the park's service centre to warm you up and bring the experience to a gentle close.

The Grands-Jardins National Park is one of the core areas of the Charlevoix Biosphere Reserve, so don't miss out on this guided hike on the La Chouenne trail, where the park warden will be on hand to explain everything you need to know!
