This is Québec's premier cabin-to-cabin ski tour in an area often referred to as 'the Switzerland of Québec.' It starts north of Baie St. Paul, which is 120 km (75 miles) northeast of Québec city beside the Parc des Grands-Jardins and ends 100 km (60 miles) farther east at the alpine ski center of Mont Grand-Fonds north of La Malbaie. There are 6 wood stove heated cabins en route each separated by 7 to 21 km (4 - 14 miles) of back country skiing in the Charlevoix mountains with magnificent views and beautiful wilderness scenery. The cabins are equipped with propane cooking stoves and lights. You will need a sleeping bag and pad. There is a herd of caribou in the Parc des Grand-Jardins. Hopefully, we will have lots of sunshine to observe the magnificent rocky mountain-like views.
The skiing is not an end in itself. It is the means by which to observe the beautiful views and remarkable scenery of the Charlevoix region. Our supplies will be moved for us each day so we only have to carry a day pack on the trail and won't be eating 'freeze-dried foods' every day. Speed is not important. We are out to have a good healthy outdoor experience.
For those who want to arrive the night before trip departure and/or stay overnight after the trip we have limited bed and breakfast accommodation in Ste-Agathe-des-Monts for Cdn $30.00 (US $20.00) per person per night.
This is a superb trip for ski club groups. Choose your dates and we will be pleased to quote you a price. The more people the lower the cost.

All trips are payable in Canadian dollars. The U.S. price is approximate only and will depend on the exchange rate.
