Description
The team from Canadian Adaptive Snowsports (CADS) is responsible for adaptive skiing at Edelweiss Summit. At the time of our visit, in 2025, the activities operated as follows. In October and November, participants register for the program via Snowline, the CADS application. Participants sign up for the full program, which consists of one weekend day over an eight-week period. At the Edelweiss Summit, it's possible to sign up for a half-day (2h) or a full day (4h). There are also one-off events where you can try out adapted skiing. Since dates and activities are subject to change, we encourage you to contact the CADS team if you have any questions about their program.
Reserved parking is available near the CADS team office, to the left of the main building. Please note that there is a snow-covered slope of 7% between this parking lot and the accessible entrance. It is therefore possible to disembark the wheelchair user in front of the CADS premises, and then park the car afterwards.
Mont Cascades resort accepts the Carte d'accompagnement loisir (CAL)
