A Lovely Canyon for a Short Snowshoe Hike

5.00My husband, my sister, and I thoroughly enjoyed our couple hour sojourn outdoors via snowshoe. It had snowed a few inches the day before and was lovely out. A nice trip along a beautiful river, with a fire and snacks mid-way through. And the dog Lula and the two goats were good companions. Francois is knowledgeable about the area's history, which made it informative in addition to fun. Not very strenuous (from my perspective), which was OK for this type of tour, but I would have enjoyed a longer tour too. Only note was that Google maps did not take us to the correct location - the meeting area is across street from the IGA Grocery Store.
Snowshoe with goats is a MUST!

5.00This trip was so fun and easy to enjoy. The goats were a silly and pretty cool addition to our beautiful winter wonderland adventure. Luna the German shepherd was also a great fetcher and enjoyed playing with us. Overall I would recommend this to anyone who wants a unique experience while in Quebec.

5.00Francois runs a great snowshoeing experience. The route is gorgeous and Francois makes sure it is safe. His historical anecdotes are interesting and give a sense of what the early explorers and settlers encountered. Lunch around the campfire was very tasty and fun. Highly recommended.
A must do! Amazing experience.

5.00An amazing experience! Traveled with a group of 7 adults. The tour guide was very patient, helpful, accommodating and informative. His dog Luna is also a great tour leader, encouraging us to move along and the goats. Many opportunities to interact with the goats and take pictures. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous. The lunch was amazing and the homemade maple whiskey was delish!!!

5.00Such a fun experience! François was such a great guide and was very communicative before the tour. Our tour time was pushed back a few hours, but getting to snowshoe during the sunset was very pretty. His goats and dog were very engaging and super sweet. Definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys nature and spendings some quality time outdoors with animals.
