The Otis Nature Outdoor Center will welcome snowmobilers in places that have been completely revamped in recent months. A sum of $ 10,000 has been invested to bring the facilities up to date by the new owners of the place, Carl Otis and Suzanne Richard. "We touched up the whole aesthetic aspect of the building such as the lighting, the upholstery of the chairs and the paint. It’s really on the mark, ”says Carl Otis. “We are very excited. We look forward to welcoming the snowmobilers. It's a whole new adventure that begins for us and it makes us very excited. The snow is there. The phone does not stop to ring. We will have a very good season. It will be really nice, ”says Ms. Richard. On site, a restaurant and bar service will be offered seven days a week. A brand new menu has been developed for customers, in collaboration with the microbrewery du Lac and executive chef Paulo. "For the restaurant and the terrace, we can accommodate 100 people at a time," says Carl Otis. In terms of accommodation, five cabins that can accommodate four to eight people will be rented. When the season is in full swing, the relay is used by nearly 600 snowmobilers every weekend. “We are truly a must stop on the snowmobile trail. We are one of the biggest snowmobile relays in Lac-Saint-Jean. We know how much people enjoyed the place and we can't wait to welcome them again, ”continues Suzanne Richard. The two promoters have acquired the facilities of the Mont Vilain outdoor center in recent months with the objective of making it an accessible place of tourist accommodation with universal access (AU), both for people with disabilities physical than the elderly and young families. They have made significant investments over the summer to achieve this goal. RoadRunner, quebec bob, PLAYHARD and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
