The hush of a snow-covered forest, the crunch under your feet, a hot chocolate at the warming hut: cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are a whole other way to enjoy a Quebec winter. National parks, outdoor centres and countless regional networks groom hundreds of kilometres of trails, from easy one-hour loops to long backcountry treks with overnight huts. It’s accessible, affordable and the perfect excuse to unplug, whether you head out solo or with a crew. Many spots rent gear on site, so there’s no reason to stay indoors. Check the listings in this category to find your next winter trail.
