Hiking for People with Disabilities
About the event
We offer a solidarity-based hike that enables individuals with disabilities to experience nature with the help of our Joëlettes. Joëlettes are specially designed hiking wheelchairs intended for use on trails. They are equipped with electric assistance and require three people to ensure the safety of the passengers.
The hike covers a distance of 12 kilometers and includes an ascent of 300 meters.
We welcome volunteers at 9:00 a.m. with coffee and croissants, followed by a training session on how to operate the Joëlettes. Individuals with disabilities will arrive at 10:00 a.m.
We will provide the picnic.
Return is scheduled for approximately 4:00 p.m.
These Joëlette tours offer a unique opportunity to share extraordinary moments of solidarity, and we look forward to seeing you again.
