Snowshoeing · Saguenay-Lac Saint-Jean
How to choose
Guided snowshoeing outings in Saguenay-Lac Saint-Jean cost from 48 € to 74 €, lasting between 2.5h and 4h from December to March. Imago Tours organises both guided treks, meeting in Saint-David-de-Falardeau. Their 2.5-hour night-time snowshoeing hike costs 48 € and is rated “Everybody welcome”. For a longer daytime excursion, their 4-hour tour costs 74 € and suits the “Occasionally sporty” level. Both tours are led in English and French. If you prefer unguided exploration, Sepaq provides a full-day snowshoe equipment rental for 20 € at the Discovery and Service Centre in Monts-Valin Park, which is gear rental only rather than an escorted trip. Pick the night outing for an accessible evening walk, or choose the 4-hour hike for a sportier route.
