Enjoy a multi-activity holiday packed full with snowshoeing, husky sledding, skiing and snowmobiling amongst Quebec’s beautiful Charlevoix region, covered under a blanket of glittering - virtually guaranteed – snow! It may be cold but the activities will keep you warm! Walks Worldwide’s 9-day, guided Quebec Winter Wonderland tour departs London 17th January 2009.Quebec is an exceptional land in North America, its distinctive varied geography, history and culture, forging a unique identity. From Montreal, travel north to Jacques Cartier Park near the Saint Lawrence River in time to meet musher-guides and dogs for a 20km exploration deep in to the Canadian winter forest. After a cosy night in a wood cabin, continue the husky sled ride through forest wilderness before exchanging 'dog power' for 'horse power' on a 100km snowmobile expedition. Next, proceed to the Charlevoix region in the heart of the Canadian Shield, one of the Earth’s oldest geological features, formed by an ancient meteor impact. Here, don snowshoes and head out in to some of the region’s 6,000-square-kilometres of dramatic rolling terrain, fjords, headlands and bays. Later, transfer to the Massif de la Petite-Riviere-Saint-Francois – Quebec’s highest downhill skiing mountain - from the summit, skiers have the impression of falling in the frozen Saint Laurence River! Finally, explore Quebec City (UNESCO World Heritage Site), atop Cap Diamant (don’t get fooled by the sparkles!), soak up the atmosphere and enjoy a warming mug of chocolat chaud in one of the city’s many brasseries. Return to Montreal for homeward flights next day.
The holiday costs £1,830 p/p including flights, baggage transfers, hotel, log cabin and chalet accommodation, most meals, equipment and expert guiding.
