    Hosting Club: Toronto
    Category: Coach Trips
    Location (Google Maps): Magog, Quebec

    Hike Leader(s): Martina Furrer, David Royle, Roland Mark Click here to contact Hike Leader(s)

    Description

    Please do not register if you don’t have a roommate; also, you and your roommate should register at the same time. Space is running out. Unfortunately, single occupancy isn’t possible.

    Spend your days exploring the Parc Régional 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 hike each day or 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 March 3, 2023 and be back in Toronto between 8 and 9 PM on Monday March 6, 2023.

    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 $170 for members, $190 for non-members, and $100 for children 12 and under.

    Accommodation is $268.50 (plus tax and gratuity) per person based on double occupancy. This includes three overnights, three breakfasts, and three dinners. The restaurant serves Asian food and has vegetarian options. 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 Régional 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.

    COVID-19 protocol: For everyone’s comfort and safety masks (KN95 or N95 recommended) are mandatory while on the bus.

    Register by December 10. Bus 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.
