Mont-Orford’s Glades – Its Best-Kept Secret!
Mont-Orford’s Glades – Its Best-Kept Secret!
The Legendary Glades of Mont Giroux Est
Skiing between the hardwood trees, you’ll notice these glades are more open than those on Mont Orford. You can access the glades via the Magnum by following the ridge to the right – don’t miss the entry just before the pitch, it’s well hidden.
Among the Local Fauna on Mont Orford
The Passe de l’Ours, Chevreuil and Porc-Épic – ski these glades and experience what extreme skiing at Mont-Orford can be like.
Keep a lookout for the entry because it’s easy to miss. You’ll find the first access point just after the start of the 4 KM, on the left, which will take you to the Passe de l’Ours to the left or the Chevreuil to the right. Don’t worry if you miss the first entry – there is a second one just after on the left, which will take you to the Porc-Épic.
The Écureuil and Orignal: A Guaranteed Challenge
Look for the small openings on the right, just after the first pitch, at the top of the Grande Coulée to access these highly reputed glades. Narrow corridors with abrupt pitches and small cliffs make these trails exciting at every turn.
For Children Looking for Excitement
The proudest moment for a parent is when their child follows them or even surpasses them in a sport. To teach them about glades in a calm setting, we recommend the Forêt Magique, the Lièvre (Mont Giroux) and the Boisé (Mont Orford).
If you get tired of skiing the same trails or if you feel you’re not skilled enough for our more difficult trails or glades, talk to the ski school about taking a lesson with an instructor – you’ll improve your skiing ability and gain confidence.
