It was a wonderful half-day of snowshoeing in Jacques Cartier national park for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teens). Our guide was on time for the pick up and made the whole day smooth. We hiked, had a nice lunch with hot cocoa and then had some free time to hike around a little more before heading back in the van. Great day!

Very pretty, even though it lasts a few seconds and the lines are huge. They should put a rail for the sleds to get on
