We will then move to the buggies. The guide assigned to your excursion will explain how the buggy works and will give you training in the safe handling of the buggy. You can then take a seat on board!! Once well in the saddle, we will take a short initiation tour of 5 to 10 minutes to give you the opportunity to feel the buggy before leaving for the hike. You will then discover the forest trails of the Laurentians following a moderate pace. Stops are planned for taking pictures, admiring the scenery and for those who want to change drivers.
