Itinerary
A ski-shoeing hike (Ski-Hok) to discover a little-known territory of the Jacques-Cartier National Park as well as to become familiar with this activity. Explore winter landscape on a ski-shoeing hike, a mix between cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, for a memorable experience in this wilderness. Important, it’s NOT a snowshoeing tour.
The first kilometres will allow you to get the proper equipment and the technique of travel, which will take us to a refuge where we will have a dinner break. Then, we will continue our trek in a zone a little more technical to master the rise and the descent of telemark type before the return to our point of departure.
The tour will allow you to properly acquire the equipment and master the technique to venture safely! Come try!

Experiencing something new in a beautiful environment was challenging, invigorating, and fun. The other participants seemed equally invested. The guide, Lorenzo, was a patient teacher and good at his job.

Lorenzo was wonderful! He went above and beyond in guiding two very nervous senior citizens. Merci beaucoup!

We ended up on the snowshoeing excursion due to the limited snow conditions, but we had a fabulous time! Our guide - Gabrielle - was wonderful welcoming, knowledgeable and so much fun. The snacks brought were thoughtful and delicious and the whole experience was better than we had even imagined.

Beautiful national park with the most stunning views. Went in March and it was not too cold but there was still lots of snow. Our guide was lovely and informative. However, this activity was much more difficult and demanding than I expected. It is best suited for athletic individuals who are not afraid to fall a few times :)

We all really enjoyed our experience hoki skiing in the Jacques Cartier National Park! We had good weather, it wasn’t too hot or cold and it wasn’t windy so it was perfect. Our guide was knowledgeable and lunch was lovely as well. You don’t have to be sporty/fit to be able to hok ski as it’s not too hard! Highly recommend!

A great experience in the outdoors in beautiful Jacques Cartier National Park. It was too icy to ski, but the snowshoeing was fairly easy and the guide very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna.
