Take full advantage of winter with this unique experience in the second most visited park in Canada. Join Aventure Outaouais for an awesome starlight guided snowshoeing adventure in the Gatineau Park to an charming wood shelter in the heart of the park where a nice warm dinner will be prepared by your guide on the wood stove and served in the warmth and the tranquility of this beautiful and historical shelter.

The journey itself is considered moderate in difficulty with 6.5 km (round-trip) in length. But don't let that bother you. With the help of a trained and experienced guide, you will be assisted through this fun adventure and given lots of pro tips. We provide all the training and equipment (snowshoes or crampons, hiking poles, and head lamps) to make it to the shelter and back. This round-trip trail should take around 3 hours to complete, including 1 hour to rest and eat at the shelter. This really is once a must do winter activity in the National Capital Region.

Funny, fabulous and fantastic tour with Brandon (owner and host extraordinaire) on a glorious nighttime hike through Gatineau Park. Well paced, and we were well fed with simple but hearty soup and grilled cheese sandwiches in a beautiful setting. Something I never would have tried at night on my own, even though I live in the region. It was a lovely crisp and perfect evening.
Fun and knowledgeable tour host

We had such an amazing time - Brandon is great at making sure everyone is handling the hike well and gives everyone a chance to catch their breath. Very knowledgeable about the area and provided great commentary along the way.

Went with a group of friends on the snowshoeing adventure and I can ay this was a PERFECT outing. Not too hard, not too easy, just right. Brandon our host paid attention to absolutely every detail making sure everyone was comfortable, felt safe and was having a great time. Dinner at the cabin was delicious. The best part about all this was just how easy it was!! All we had to do was dress warm and show up. Brandon took care of everything else. Would HIGHLY recommend this and will definitely be going again!
Good for experienced participants.

This is not an easy “hike”. We had some in our group that were much slower than the rest and felt quite left behind. The guide seemed to prefer being with that group of people. The guide would also tell those people things and by the time we caught up, it was like “alright let’s go”. We had no idea what he was saying most of the time. Overall it was as advertised and the dinner in the cabin was nice, but this is definitely not for people who are novices at snow shoeing. There also isn’t much to see, most of the walk was on a road. The parts in the woods were much nicer.
Unique experience. Have been on many tours through the years but this was by far one the most unique experiences we have ever do

Have done many tours through the years but this was definitely the most unique experience we have ever done. A must do. Brandon along with his fiancee delivered a first class tour from pick up to drop off. Very knowledgeable, friendly, personal and relaxed atmosphere. We even got a bit of Quebec karaoke on the journey back. A great evening with lasting memories.
Great night hike

Brandon was a great guide with good stories and energy. We had a great night, the hike in, our meal and hike back were great. And the pick up and drop off were on time and easy to find.
