He will then explain in details the course of your stay. You will then take advantage of a guided snowshoeing
excursion in the heart of the Canadian forest. You will then reach a remotely located Voyager camp. While sipping a glass of Caribou (Quebec’s apperitif wine) you will be introduced to the art of living in the wild and will build a traditional Native shelter.

day, you’ll take advantage of a farewell dinner before the transfer to Montreal. Night at the Suites Labelle in standard category or at the Roberval Hotel in
