Pace: Moderate (3-4 km/hr)
Terrain: Challenging, Hilly
Description

Please do not register if you don’t have a roommate; also, you and your roommate should register at the same time. Unfortunately, single occupancy isn’t possible.
Spend your days exploring the Parc national du Mont-Orford and your evenings on the shore of Lake Memphremagog. Explore the park on foot or cross-country skis. Join a guided snowshoe/winter hike each day. There will be two groups. On the full days each group will do full day hikes; one group will cover slightly more distance and possibly more challenging terrain than the other. Alternatively, you can team up with friends and explore at your own pace (30 km of trails to explore). Or snap on your skis and enjoy self-guided tours on trails groomed for classic (50 km) and skate (26 km) skiing. We might also explore the Parc des Sommets in nearby Bromont. Join us for winter fun in Quebec’s Eastern Townships.
Travel direct from Toronto in a luxury highway coach. Bus will depart from 10 York Mills Rd at 7 AM on Friday February 14, 2025 and be back in Toronto between 9 and 10 PM on Monday February 17, 2025.
We’ll be staying in the Auberge du Grand Lac in the heart of Magog, walking distance to shops, galleries, pubs, cafés, and a 2.8 km skating trail (lit at night) on the shore of Lake Memphremagog. The Marais de la Riviere aux Cerises with hiking and snowshoe trails (5 km) can also be reached on foot from the Auberge du Grand Lac.
Note to winter hikers/snowshoers: Expect more hills and longer climbs than in southern Ontario. On some routes there could be sustained climbs with elevation gains that are four times as much as Murphy’s Pinnacle or two times the Beaver Valley ski hill.
Coach fare is $205 for members, $225 for non-members, and $100 for children 12 and under.
Accommodation is $223.50 (plus tax and gratuity) per person based on double occupancy (or $447 plus tax and gratuity per room). This includes three overnights and three boxed breakfasts. Note: The Auberge du Grand Lac has 28 rooms so single occupancy will not be possible. If you need help finding a roommate contact Martina.
Trail fees are not included in the above prices. Expect to pay about $20 per day.
Equipment rentals: Cross-country ski equipment is available in the Le Cerisier Discovery and Visitors Centre in the Parc national du Mont-Orford. Reservation by phone (1-800-665-6527) is mandatory at least 24 hours in advance. Snowshoes and crampons are also available; reservations aren’t necessary for them. Ice skates can’t be rented in the park or in Magog. Equipment can’t be rented in the Parc des Sommets in Bromont.
Registration instructions:
1. Complete the online registration form and pay your coach fare to secure your seat on the bus.
2. Martina will send you the Auberge du Grand Lac’s registration form.
3. Once you receive the form you will have 48 hours to complete it, email it to the Auberge du Grand Lac, and pay your deposit. Please pay your deposit (50 % of your stay) at the same time you send in your form.
Cancellation policy: This trip will not be cancelled due to weather. If there isn’t enough snow to ski and snowshoe we will hike.
Register by December 7. Coach fare is non-refundable. All applicable fuel surcharges and taxes in effect as of October have been included in the coach fare. However in these volatile times the Toronto Bruce Trail Club reserves the right to charge for currently unanticipated increases in the cost of fuel.

Each Friday we will explore different neighbourhoods, trails and parkland throughout Historic Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Moderate pace with some weeks entirely on sidewalks and roads while others may include a mix of trails and paved pathways. Great way to build up endurance for longer more strenuous hikes.
Prepare for cooler windy conditions on open parkland and along Lake Ontario and Niagara River trails.
Plan to stay for conversation and a warm cup of coffee or tea at Sweets & Swirls, Community Centre, Niagara Stone Road, NOTL
