PRE-SALE PRICE: 10% OFF UNTIL DECEMBER 15 // With a focus on discovery and learning, we’re offering this guided off-trail cross-country skiing trip through the unique Montagne du Diable trail network. In addition to exploring the snow-covered trails, you’ll have the chance to spend the night in cozy mountain huts. This trip is designed for anyone with some basic cross-country skiing experience who wants to try off-trail cross-country skiing. You’ll benefit from the expertise of our guide, who will lead you along a route suitable for all skill 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.
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.
