Adult: from $74.00 per ticket
Enfant (6 à 12 ans): from $37.00 per ticket

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE BOOKING

IMPORTANT : Only available for the summer (hiking until first snowfall) for the moment. Skiing will be available as of winter 2025-2026.

Our formula offers a long, unguided hike in the heart of nature on a well-marked trail where the terrain sometimes requires a good deal of experience.

Hiking can be done from late May until snowfall, i.e. from late October to mid-November.

For early spring bookings (April to late May, sometimes June), be aware that conditions can be difficult and there will almost certainly be snow-covered sections (which may require you to bring snowshoes just in case). Make your reservations with this in mind, and understand that reservations cannot be postponed if there is still snow (except in cases of force majeure/acts of God).

The nordic ski tour in winter runs from the end of December to the end of March and is reserved for very experienced skiers. Skins are strongly recommended and are used for both ascents and steep descents (rental available).

For early-season and late-season bookings (December/early January and late March/April), conditions are unlikely skiable. You may be advised to swap your skis for snowshoes, so make your bookings bearing this in mind and be well prepared. Again, reservations cannot be postponed in the event of poor conditions (except in cases of force majeure/acts of God).

We can't guarantee skiable conditions all winter long, so you'll have to adapt your equipment according to our recommendations. Climate change is more and more present each year, so we need to be resilient.

Moreover, snowshoes are only permitted at the beginning and end of the season, depending on the conditions (when ski conditions are compromised). Contact us for more information on snowshoeing before booking.

If you wish to do the half-crossing with a dog, please contact us before booking as certain conditions apply.
