                                      The chalet at Mont-Avalanche Sports Resort has two floors. There is no elevator to move from one floor to the other. For wheelchair users, we recommend going to the rear of the building, where there is an adapted entrance. This entrance leads directly to the 1st floor of the building, where you'll find the dining room, the adapted washroom and the Café Bistro Bar La Montagne.
                                      In winter, the resort hosts the Association régionale de loisirs pour personnes handicapées des Laurentides (ARLPHL). This organization is responsible for the adapted ski program. The activity takes place on Sundays. For more information, please contact ARLPHL.
                                      The resort accepts the Carte d'Accompagnement Loisir (CAL).
