Hiking
This hike takes you high above the Jacques Cartier National Park to magnificent panoramic views. The Sentier Les Loups, or the Wolf Trail, is one of the main hiking trails in the national park. If you want a little more peace and quiet, especially in autumn, it’s best to go early in the morning.
The hike starts at the car park at Chemin de la Vallée next to the Jacques-Cartier river. The climb starts straight away, and you’ll soon reach the first viewpoint where you can take a breather and enjoy the spectacular view of the glacier valley. The river here has dug deep into the plateau, and the slopes are lined with coniferous and deciduous trees. The path then climbs through the heart of the forest, towards the top of the Sautauriski mountain.
From the summit you can admire the imposing valley and the surrounding peaks. You’ll hike back along the same paths, giving you plenty of opportunity to enjoy the panorama once again.
Entry to the national park costs around ten Canadian dollars. The park is a short shuttle bus ride from the centre of Quebéc.
