PRE-SALE 10% DISCOUNT UNTIL DECEMBER 1 // This guided off-trail cross-country skiing trip through the unique Montagne du Diable network is all about discovery and learning. In addition to navigating snow-covered trails, you'll have the chance to sleep in the mountain's cosy refuges. This trip is for anyone with a basic cross-country skiing experience who wants to discover off-piste cross-country skiing. You'll benefit from the expertise of our guide, who will guide you through an itinerary accessible to all levels.
This looped itinerary winds its way through the vast backcountry ski network of Montagne du Diable, taking you from hut to hut for an overnight stay. You'll have the chance to spend time outdoors on your skis and in the comfort of the huts, food included! On cross-country days, all you need to carry is a day pack, making the adventure even more enjoyable.
The trip will be confirmed by January 12 at the latest, or as soon as the minimum number of registrations has been reached. If you're thinking of signing up, don't delay, so we can confirm your stay as soon as possible!
This adventure is for girls who are curious and want to get out in the woods. A minimum of classic cross-country skiing experience is required. You can do some over Christmas before coming to the event!
Small group of up to 10 girls, all ages welcome. For girls with a certain fitness base - no need to be a great athlete, just get your heart pumping a few times a week.
You'll have to help with some group tasks (washing up, tidying up, organization, etc.).
You'll have to carry your personal equipment for the day, including your lunch every day. Group gear and your sleeping bag will be transported by snowmobile from hut to hut.
