Access

Summer
In the summer, the cabin is accessible by car via the Zec road. Parking is just 50 meters from the cabin.

Winter
In winter, after the first snows (sometimes from October!) the refuge is about 3.5 km away, accessible by snowshoe or ski from the Zec des Martres reception since the road is closed to vehicles during the winter (sometimes until the end of May! ) .
You must go to our reception, not the Zec, to pick up the keys (135 rang St-François, KM 10.6 on route 381).

Important information
This cabin is poorly insulated and can be difficult to heat in extremely cold weather. The Lac-à-l’Écluse area is often windy, and with the winds, the chalet becomes extremely challenging to heat. If you absolutely want warmth, it’s better to rent another chalet during the cold periods this winter (January – February). Note that no refunds will be given for lack of insulation. It’s a poorly insulated and cold chalet in winter. We prefer to warn you 😉
There is no running water in our cabins, but they are all located near bodies of water: lakes, rivers, streams. La Traversée recommends treating the water, either by filtering it, using specific disinfectant products, or boiling it for ten minutes.
You must take all your waste with you.Before booking, please familiarize yourself with our booking policy.
