Would you like to become self-sufficient and go hiking for several days? Now's the time to get the tools and knowledge to make it happen! You'll get the full experience with our professional guide, Gabrielle Pilote. This initiation is designed to teach you about long-distance hiking and camp management. This fun-filled weekend of learning is perfect for learning in a relaxed atmosphere. IMPORTANT: given the snowy winter, snowshoes may be required to adapt to the conditions of the terrain explored.
For this introduction to long-distance hiking, we propose the Philosore trail in Vallée Bras-du-Nord. Given the year's weather and variable trail conditions, we'll be going into adventure mode, with accommodation in a refuge. Thanks to this experience, you'll be able to develop your skills and build your autonomy on long hikes.
Payment can be made in two instalments. Contact us at info@leschevresdemontagne.com
