Description Suggest change

A great playground renowned for its hard mixed lines and home of the first Festiglace at Pont-Rouge. Saint-Alban and Pont-Rouge offer great cragging test pieces. For a bit more fun or when the conditions are too warm there's a lot more ice in the Bras-du-Nord valley with longer routes in more remote areas. In all cases follow the areas rules and access trails to enable us to keep the sites open for years to come.

Getting There Suggest change

Highway 40 or route 138 along the north shore of the Saint-Lawrence
