And why not treat yourself to a VIP Experience?

The VIP Experience includes: a spot on the North-Shore or South-Shore of Québec City, with its (heated and unheated) decks, open bar (alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks), music and festive atmosphere. A unique opportunity to see the athletes up close and to discover the full wonder of this extreme winter sport. Details available in our shop section.
