Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay: Spectacular scenery

Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay is a thrilling and majestic park where nature has deployed colossal forces to create a fjord that is unique in North America. A witness to the movement of the icebergs that shaped this area’s stunning landscapes and mysterious fjord, the park surrounds the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park for over 100 km (60 mi.) along a series of breathtaking bays, coves and cliffs. The park’s scenery is truly spectacular!

Sleep in nature
From comfortable cabins and glamping units to huts, lean-tos, RV sites, tent sites and wilderness campsites for trekkers or kayakers, you have lots of options to extend your adventure in the park!
