s Incident management and supervision
Voir plus

In case of rain, for example, our activities proceed as scheduled. Therefore, we recommend that you remain attentive to the weather conditions and prepare appropriate clothing to cope with potential inclement weather during your package stay in the region.

In the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean area, microclimates are observed. This means that weather conditions can vary significantly over short distances. For instance, heavy rainfall may occur in certain areas for a brief period, while others remain sunny. This variation creates periods of good weather between rain episodes. Hence, before utilizing our services, please wait to see if the heavy rainfall indeed passes.

In case of extreme temperatures considered dangerous for your safety, such as torrential rains and violent and incessant thunderstorms, we may, depending on the specifics of your situation, arrange either personal transportation, coordinate a resource, or direct you to the nearest resource from your location, so that you can reach your destination safely.

In all cases, and particularly to safeguard against natural disasters (e.g., forest fires, floods, etc.), we recommend purchasing a travel insurance. It is possible that we may determine our services can proceed even if you feel the conditions are not sufficiently favorable. In such cases, our cancellation policies will apply.

s Can I show up at any time ?
Voir plus

We operate several type of activities at the same time. So, in order to respect our schedule and to be able to welcome all our customers as they should, it is preferable to respect the arrival time that has been assigned to you for your activity.

If it is not possible for you to meet this schedule, please contact our team in order to find another time that may be suitable for everyone.

s Can I book over the phone?
Voir plus

To avoid telephone traffic and potential errors due to misunderstandings, reservations are made on our website via the appropriate platform for the desired service.

s Do I have to bring food?
Voir plus

The evening meal and a continental breakfast are included in the reservation. You can still bring snacks and drinks, if you want to. We leave this choice to the discretion of the customers.
