BRAVE THE LAKE IN WINTER

The Ski-Lo! adventure begins at the Centre Vauvert-sur-le-Lac-Saint-Jean. Participants then cover the distance on a groomed (skate only) and marked trail, interspersed with refreshment points, which will bring them to a grand finale at the splendid site of Chalets et Spa Lac St-Jean, in Chambord.

Participants have a maximum of 4h30 hours to complete the Ski-Lo!

Each participant is committed to raising $750 in donations for the On the Tip of the Toes Foundation, which helps young cancer sufferers regain their well-being. Please note that fundraising is mandatory. Only participants who have completed 100% of their fundraising will be allowed to take departure on February 24.

A maximum of 100 people will have the chance to take up this challenge next February.

Are you ready to brave the cold and the lake?
