Ice Canoeing Discovery on the St. Lawrence and Spa Experience in Quebec City

It is at Anse-au-Foulon that the Canot à Glace Expérience team awaits you, the organiser of a one-of-a-kind experience in Quebec City: a combination of an ice canoeing outing on the St Lawrence River and access to one of the city’s spas, Strøm Spa Nordique, to help you unwind after the activity. Ice canoeing on the St Lawrence is a must-do experience in Quebec City, and finishing it with a relaxing spa moment can only make your day even more unforgettable! So, are you ready to spend 1.5 hours on the ice of the river, aboard a long canoe specially designed for winter conditions, before relaxing at your leisure in a stunning Nordic spa overlooking the St Lawrence?

Fully equipped with all the gear required for the activity, you will cover approximately 5 to 7 km by ice canoe, using 2 different techniques: when the St Lawrence is open water, you will move using large paddles; when ice builds up, you will leave the paddles in the canoe and, using your crampons, adopt a “scooter” position to help the canoe make its way through the ice. A sporty adventure awaits you, but one that is perfectly suitable for beginners, provided everyone is in good physical condition. You will discover the sport safely alongside experienced guides, in the magnificent winter setting of Quebec City, with views of its bridges, the Plains of Abraham and, at times, the Château Frontenac. A wonderfully original way to discover the city awaits you!

And after the effort comes the reward! Following this ice canoeing initiation in Quebec City, you will have the opportunity to enjoy Strøm Spa Nordique, located in Old Quebec. You can choose to enjoy the thermal experience as a continuation of your day, or on another date to suit your preferences, making the most of hot tubs, Finnish saunas and an eucalyptus steam bath. Please note that, for greater peace and comfort, the spa is only accessible to guests aged 16 and over. So, what are you waiting for?

And if you would prefer to experience this adventure without the spa option, feel free to book the ice canoeing discovery activity on the St. Lawrence in Quebec!
