Frequently Asked Questions – La Petite Aventure

Is it possible to do the Petite Aventure an e-bike?

Yes, electrical outlets will be available for participants during the events.

Is it possible to have a gluten-free menu for people with gluten intolerance?

A gluten-free menu is available at mealtimes. However, due to the high volume of food service logistics involved in the Petite Aventure program, we cannot guarantee 100% that cross-contamination will not occur.

The gluten-free menu is therefore available to participants with a gluten intolerance, but is not recommended for participants with celiac disease.

Is it possible to change the " Petite Aventure" package?

No, the packages are offered according to the plans and durations listed on our website, and these cannot be modified.

Is it possible to use La Petite Aventure ’s meal service Petite Aventure paying for lodging?

The packages offered are non-customizable and therefore include both lodging and meals. However, you may bring your own meals, but the cost of those meals cannot be deducted from your package price.
