5.00Very informative and fun! It’s a great workout, so don’t over layer because even though snow is on the ground, you will warm up. Our guide was thoughtful and kind and even made us hot chocolate and sandwiches.
Amazing experience

5.00We had a fantastic snowshoeing hike! Our guide, Aurelie, was very knowledgeable and accommodating as this was our first experience snowshoeing. The hike was about 3 miles long over about 2 hours with great views throughout. Lunch was provided, and was a great compliment to the experience with lots of local ingredients. Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience the beauty of this large national park!

5.00This was an excellent outdoor adventure. Our tour guide, Gabriell, was very experienced and very helpful. This is a physically demanding experience. Honestly, I gave up and went back to the park center by the time we got to the second hill. Snowshoeing is harder than I imagined it would be. It would have been ok on the flat ground but I didn’t know all of the hills along the 3 mile trek. I can walk three miles no problem. However, snowshoeing is totally different. My husband and teenage son were able to complete the experience in full. I give props the guides who go out and brave the cold and do this everyday. It was tough. Make sure to tip them well because they definitely deserve it!! Helpful hint, bring a bottle of water with you and if you feel like you can’t snowshoe, take them off and carry them because I missed out on the tour since I went back.
Every one was very nice...

5.00Every one was very nice (even helped with my dreadful French). Setting was special. Unfortunately, I’m a flat land snowshoer and got in over my head on the hills. The guides were very understanding!
