Whether or not you love tandem skiing in winter, would you like to enjoy a similar activity once the snow has melted? Now you can, thanks to the Cimgo (an all-terrain tandem)!
An all-terrain wheelchair outing lies somewhere between mountain biking and quad bike riding. You can travel along all the paths on the mountainside, enjoying the sensation of speed and sharing descents with family or friends.
The joëlette provides a means of exploring nature, seeing the flora and fauna, smelling the fragrances of woodlands or, quite simply going out and sharing a special moment with family or friends - safely.
Dualskis are intended for people with lower limb disability. They let you ski on your own and achieve the same results as the best able-bodied skiers.
Sliding within everyone's reach, the Tandemski allows severely handicapped people, possibly without any autonomy or of great fragility, to slide safely on ski slopes and thus enjoy the Grand-Massif ski area.
Like the Dualski, the Uniski is designed for people with lower limb disability. After learning the basics, you can experience the joys of skiing on your own and increase your proficiency.
The Kartski has been designed for people who want to ski on their own using their upper limbs but who do not have the necessary stability or strength to use a Uniski or Dualski.
"The Clos des Cimes" is located at the foot of the Massif du Criou, in the great plain of Vallons. Many hikes from the cottages, winter cross-country skiing and snowshoeing 500 m from the chalet. Skibus stop at 100m.
