Different terrains for snow outings
For your snow outings, with family or friends, you can visit :
In the ski resorts
A cross-country or downhill ski resort.
Alpine ski resorts don't just offer downhill runs. They also offer many kilometers of cross-country skiing, hiking and snowshoeing trails. Depending on the difficulty of the trails, you can enjoy them with your Lugicap Snow.
In tourism operations
In France, for example, tourist offices can advise you on the best places to go hiking with your Lugicap Snow.
For example, the trails followed by dog sled teams are ideal for beautiful rides.
Directly on the snow-covered open spaces
Places you know or that have been recommended to you for a trip on the snow with your wheelchair. As long as they're flat or slightly hilly, no problem!
Wherever you go, Lugicap guarantees you unforgettable moments aboard your Sled Lugicap Snow, this unique equipment for disabled wheelchair users.
How does a Lugicap Snow work?
A Lugicap Snow is designed to accommodate all models of manual wheelchairs with 3 or 4 wheels.
This means the disabled person doesn't have to transfer from one chair to another. They stay warm and comfortable in their accustomed armchair.
The wheelchair is mounted on the Lugicap Snow. It is equipped with skis from Rossignol or Salomon, whose quality and reputation are well established.
The wheelchair is then securely attached to the Lugicap Snow. The 2 pieces of equipment become perfectly interdependent.
You're now ready for a great ride in the snow!
How do you propel the Lugicap Snow?
One or more guides accompany you on each outing. They are responsible for propelling or towing the Sled.
Activities associated with Lugicap equipment always involve a minimum of 2 people: a disabled person in a wheelchair and an accompanying adult.
How to get the most out of your snow tour
Comfort first
People with disabilities need to be well secured in their seats. To avoid slipping in the seat with the movements, the speed... In the euphoria, take care not to leave too quickly if you are badly installed.
Similarly, if the person slips in the chair, don't hesitate to tell us so that we can adjust the position for maximum comfort and gliding pleasure.
Before departure, your companion will make sure that the disabled person is safely seated.
For this, we recommend the use of a support harness, which we also offer as an option.
Without neglecting safety
A few points will further enhance your experience and enjoyment. Before you leave :
- Scan the route you wish to take
- Check that you have the right to walk on these lands, which may be private.
- Start with short walks before embarking on long hikes.
For a person with reduced mobility, using a Sled Lugicap and enjoying it with family or friends opens up new horizons, endless new possibilities for leisure and freedom. You too can experience the sensations that only snow sports can offer.
Customer testimonials
Christelle Khan2023-08-29With much delay, I wanted to thank Franck from Lugicap who accompanied my son Leny on a trip to La Toussuire in February. He came all the way from Besançon, just for one morning. Thanks to "make a wish", Leny was able to enjoy a dog sled ride. The journey to this one was made possible by Franck and his team. 1000 thanks for everything you do. It was an unforgettable experience for him and for us. Long live your project, it's good to have people like you!

Gregory BOUME ELEND2023-04-03As its name suggests, the lugicap is an easy-to-access, easy-to-use concept for people with reduced mobility. It offers sensations rarely found in a wheelchair. If you get the chance to try it out, you'll adopt it immediately :) I highly recommend it!
Agathe Frys2023-02-21As a Christmas present for our wheelchair-bound son, the lugicap lived up to its promise of being quick and easy to use. Strolls on groomed snow: on the flat, it glides along smoothly and effortlessly, and the (small) descents are gentle, as are the ascents. Our son couldn't agree more!
