This is just the last 100K+ of the Via de la Plata route of the Camino de Santiago, the minimum distance to be recognised with a distance certificate by the pilgrim's office. A "pilgrim's passport" can be stamped along the way to provide a souvenir, and to show at the office. Unlike the more popular St James route, it is conveniently possible as a 1-day adventure because a high-speed train links the two cities.

This is an out-and-back trail course: from Anse Saint-Jean marina to Petit Saguenay pier and back.

Starting from Anse Saint-Jean Marina, half a mile on pavement and then a large trail. Then about 5.5 miles on a forest technical single track (mostly roots and some rocks). One mile of steep ascent to a point of view of the Saguenay fjord then rolling for about 2 miles to a lake. Then a descent to another lake, followed by a moderately steep ascent. The descent to Petit Saguenay pier is quite steep and technical. Return to the starting point by the same trail.
