PRE-SALE PRICE: 10% OFF UNTIL DECEMBER 15 // A highlight of the winter program: ice canoeing! On this day, you’ll have the chance to try your hand at ice canoeing with the passionate team from Canot à glace Expérience. On the agenda: breathtaking views of the river, the city, and historic sites like Anse-Brown, plus the chance to learn the basics of ice canoeing—a little-known, surprising, yet truly extraordinary sport! Equipment is provided, along with plenty of fun and gourmet treats during a well-deserved break on a drifting ice floe. Isn’t that idyllic? Oh, and the day wraps up with a Nordic swim, a quick visit to the sauna with a panoramic view, and a bowl of hot soup. What could be better?
Canot à glace Expérience guides will introduce you to the techniques of ice canoeing: you can try your hand at scootering and paddling. It's an opportunity to try out an unusual activity and push yourself to the limit. If you're worried about getting cold from the ice and water, we guarantee you'll be warm and moving for the effort.
