Day to day description

Day 1 – Arrival in Montreal

Check in to your hotel in downtown Montreal. Meet the rest of the group and your guide for an introduction and briefing about the journey.

Day 2 – Mont-Tremblant

Travel towards the Laurentians region and Mont-Tremblant National Park.

This journey is an invitation to slow down and take in the scenery, travelling through landscapes that transform before your eyes: mountains, forests and lakes. Time seems to slow down.

Day 3 – Mont-Tremblant

Established in 1895, Mont-Tremblant National Park was the first national park created in Quebec.

With its six major rivers and 400 lakes and streams, it is a true paradise for canoeing enthusiasts. The 40 species of mammals that roam its forests, including wolves, are a testament to the area’s wild character and vastness.

Days 4–5 – Jacques-Cartier National Park

North of Quebec City lies one of Quebec’s most spectacular glacial valleys: Jacques-Cartier National Park.

This vast mountainous plateau, carved by deep valleys, features an impressive elevation difference of more than 550 metres, with a river winding through the landscape, sometimes calm and sometimes rushing.

On the high plateaus, coniferous forests dominate, while deciduous trees flourish in the valley bottoms.

Days 6–7 – Saguenay Fjord National Park

A picturesque village of around 800 inhabitants, nestled where the St. Lawrence River meets the Saguenay Fjord, is a perfect destination for lovers of the sea.

Its charm lies in its spectacular landscapes, rich history and numerous opportunities for marine wildlife encounters, including sightings of 13 species of whales.

Days 10–11 – Hautes-Gorges National Park

Located in the Charlevoix region, Hautes-Gorges National Park takes its name from the deeply carved valleys surrounded by towering mountains.

The Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie are home to some of the highest cliff faces east of the Rockies.

The dramatic elevation changes, breathtaking scenery and distinctive course of the Malbaie River make this an enchanting destination.

Day 12 – Quebec City

Arrive in the former capital in the morning.

Old Quebec, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is best explored on foot. Wander through the cobblestone streets of the only fortified city north of Mexico.

Day 13 – End of the Journey

End of the journey.
