Très belle activité complète avec de beaux paysages en forêt et sur un lac gelé.il aurait manqué un petit moment de vitesse sur le lac où le guide aurait pu demander qui souhaitait aller un peu plus vite et faire quelques minutes de liberté de conduite sur le lac avec plus de vitesse. Moment de pause autour du feu très sympa.
