Description

With a wide variety of snowshoe styles and landscapes at your disposal, the Yurt Experience serves as an introduction to the basics of snowshoeing. Join us as we explore the forests and fields of Southern Ontario's rolling landscape, discover fascinating winter ecology tidbits, and sip hot chocolate around a glowing fire. Located within close proximity to major city centers, the Yurt Experience provides a semi-remote environment for you to brush-up on your snowshoeing techniques.

The Yurt Experience also includes a brief sustainability tour that will introduce you to low-impact building techniques, alternative energy sources, responsible waste management practices, and water conservation techniques.
