PRE-SALE PRICE: 10% OFF UNTIL DECEMBER 15 // Backcountry cross-country skiing is part of the Laurentides’ heritage. We invite you to join us for a day of exploring backcountry cross-country skiing throughout the Gare and 4 Versants areas in Sainte-Adèle. This activity is designed for women who have a basic understanding of cross-country skiing and want to adapt it to off-trail cross-country skiing. The goal is to explore the trail network, get comfortable with the equipment, learn basic techniques, and have fun traveling along the snow-covered trails.
The Sainte-Adèle network offers accessible trails with a few small challenges that are ideal for learning. Accompanied by our coaches and instructors, you will complete a loop-shaped course that will allow you to master untracked trails, both uphill and downhill. If you love cross-country skiing, adventure, and nature, backcountry cross-country skiing will be a real revelation!
