SNOWSHOE HIKING
 
Ten years ago, who could have imagined that snowshoe hiking would become so popular? Such is the case today, with ever-growing numbers of fresh-air enthusiasts taking up this activity as a means of coming into contact with nature and outdoor sports.

So bring out those dusty rawhide snowshoes from the attic, or better still, discover the more recent high-tech models and enjoy marked trails winding all around the Québec City Area for hundreds of kilometers.

Plenty of snowshoe rental opportunities, as shown below.
