Don’t Miss the Quebec Ice Climbing Festival Festiglace

After an absence of over a decade on the international scene, Pont-Rouge’s Festiglace is rising from the ashes. Thanks to a team of passionate volunteers and to the collaboration of numerous partners, the highly anticipated event will be sure to give thrills to all. The event will take place from Feb. 21 to 23, 2020.

Climbing and outdoor enthusiasts as, well as active families are invited to participate, challenge themselves, connect and have fun on the ice climbs of Île aux Raisins on the Jacques-Cartier River.

On top of the international enduro-style professional competition that will feature some of the best climbers and alpinists in the world, numerous inspiring activities will be offered. The program includes ice climbing trials, snowshoe trails, a rappel station, an amateur competition, a youth zone, conferences and film showings by renowned athletes, a village of exhibitors, skills clinics and more.
