Montreal & Quebec Frequently Asked Questions
We will send you detailed information about the Adventure in a
Pre-Departure Packet once you register.
What is the weather going to be like?
In Montreal in August the average high is 76 degrees while the average
low is 59. Summers can be muggy. Unfortunately, it can rain in the area
year round (there is no dry season) so be prepared for warm days with
the possibility of showers.
What is the best way to get to the Tour and where do
we meet?
You should fly into Montreal Airport (code YUL), a major airport with
many airlines and connections. When you book your tour, we will provide
you with a recommended hotel in Montreal that you can book on your own
if you are flying in early.
What should I do if I want to extend my vacation in
the area?
We will be in Montreal only one night, so taking some extra time in
this city is a good idea. Surprisingly for some, Montreal is actually
only two and a half hours from Burlington, Vermont. Renting a car to
visit Vermont or the Adirondacks in upper New York would also be a
great idea. Quebec City, which is a nice place, is a bit farther away
at about three and a half hours by car.
Will I need a passport and visa to visit Canada?
Travelers from the United States and most European countries
do not need a visa to visit Canada. American citizens are required to
have a valid passport for air travel to Canada and this will apply to
land crossings in 2008.
What ability level do I really need to be for this
tour?
The Quebec Skating Adventure is rated as for Advanced Beginners and up. The
paths are mostly flat and smooth!
For what type of people would you recommend this trip?
This tour will be very popular with those of you who prioritize the
skating, since it is excellent on our chosen trails. If you love to
travel to Europe but have not been to Quebec, this is your opportunity.
If you prefer staying in North America on your travels, this is an
excellent opportunity to get a little foreign culture while not going
too far from home.
