Du Vent Hut
Whether the winds blow from east to west or from north to south, they glide right by this wind shelter because of its original construction: it is hexagonal. As with other cabins and huts, it took many weeks of work to bring the logs to the site. It was quite a challenge! The location of this shelter is purely magical and offers a bird’s-eye view of peaceful Lake Windigo.
This day shelter can accommodate 7 people with its 7 single mattresses on the mezzanine. In the morning, checkout time is 10 a.m.
Reservation required. Please go to the Village des Bâtisseurs (P2) to get the key that will give you access to the beds.
