SUMMARY:Newcomers Snowshoeing Excursion
DESCRIPTION:Have you noticed that locals love being outdoors even in the winter?!\n  \nYou’ve been wanting to try snowshoeing but don’t own a pair?\n  \n\nVEQ in partnership with Accès-Loisirs will take you to the Jacques-Cartier Nat’l Park to enjoy a day of winter fun!\n  \n\nAll you need to do is email María Castro (newcomers@veq.ca) and sign up.\n  \n  \n \n  \n  \nWe only have 10 snowshoes for adults and a similar amount for children’s sizes. It is thus important that you reserve your spot!\n  \n  \nWe are providing transportation to the Jacques-Cartier National Park\, so if you recently moved to the Greater Québec City region and would like to explore this place and try a new winter sport while making new friends\, you only need to sign up! \nWe will leave from our offices (1270 chemin Sainte-Foy) at 9:00 from where we will head first to Pascal le Boulanger*\, a must-stop among hikers heading to the iconic national park. At the bakery\, you can get your lunch to go in case you forgot to prepare one or simply indulge with one of their famous pastries. After this quick stop\, the bus will take us to the Discovery & Services Centre\, situated on km 10 from the park’s entrance.  Once there\, you can choose the activities you would like to do\, like exploring one of the many trails listed below. Please take into consideration the trail’s length and estimated duration. We will leave the park at 3:00 PM. \nEvery passenger is expected to follow Public Health’s recommendations regarding the prevention of the coronavirus situation. Please wear a mask at all times during the bus ride. \nClick here to see the list of trails open for the season\, difficulty\, length\, type of trail (roundtrip or loop)\, estimated duration (it all depends on one’s rhythm) \nPlease remember to follow safety guidelines when going for a hike\, like wearing appropriate clothing and shoes\, or notifying someone which trail you will explore. You can take a look at this suggested how-to dress checklist. It is also recommended that you download the trail map\, you can do so here or on this website. The application AVENZA Maps also allows you to download them for free. \nMore websites with advice on how to dress and what to bring: \nWhat to wear winter hiking \nSnowshoeing Checklist \nSnowshoe Gear Checklist \n*at your own cost\, VEQ will not pay for purchases made here
