Sébastien’s tipWith so many activities available, it is better to choose two or three per stay rather than trying to fit everything into a week: between an igloo evening and a snowmobile outing, fatigue builds up quickly at altitude. Book the zip line and speed riding early in the morning, the lifts concerned sometimes close before nightfall.
