Our favorite activity for the past two years: ice canoeing! During this day, you will have the chance to learn how to ice canoe thanks to the team of enthusiasts at Canot à glace Expérience. On the agenda: breathtaking views of the river, the city, and historic sites such as Anse-Brown, as well as learning the basic techniques of ice canoeing, a little-known, surprising, but truly extraordinary sport! Equipment is provided, along with fun and gourmet surprises during a well-deserved break on drifting ice. How bucolic is that? Oh yes, the day ends with a Nordic swim, a quick trip to the sauna with a panoramic view, and 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.
