Défi sportif
The Défi sportif is the perfect opportunity to challenge yourself on many levels. It’s an ideal way to combine passions and values, personal achievement and philanthropy, travel and adventure. With each edition, participants embark on an adventure to some of the world’s most exciting destinations to take on a sporting challenge while also reaching a charitable fundraising goal.
For 2026, the Défi sportif | tripvoyage.ca offers two destinations: Corsica and Mount Kilimanjaro.
Mount Kilimanjaro – October 4 to 15, 2026
In the fall, a second group will travel to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro via the Machame Route, also known as the “Whiskey Route.” This route offers a wide variety of views, landscapes and experiences. Participants will spend their nights camping, followed by a descent along the Mweka Route.
This challenge is designed for experienced athletes: the trek takes place at high altitude, with steep trails covering long distances and daily hikes ranging from 5 to 7 hours, including a 14-hour, 15-kilometre hike for the final ascent to the summit of Uhuru Peak.
An optional 6-day safari in northern Tanzania is also available as part of this adventure. The itinerary includes the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Park, each offering unique opportunities to discover the rich diversity of African wildlife.

Corsica – COMPLETED
This spring, a first group will travel to the far south of Corsica for an 8-day trek featuring a wide variety of hikes from the mountains to the sea. From Vizzavona Pass to the Bonifacio cliffs, through the Gulf of Ajaccio, the distinctly Corsican villages of Alta Rocca and Taravo, and the Aiguilles de Bavella, the route offers an opportunity to discover the authentic character of rural Corsica, far removed from the usual clichés.
Although this is a sporting challenge, it is considered accessible, with hiking days lasting 4 to 5 hours. Preparation and regular training before departure are recommended, but you don’t need to be an elite athlete to take part in this adventure.
Registrations for the 6th edition of the Défi sportif | tripvoyage.ca Peru are now closed!
In October 2025, participants will embark on a trek in Peru.
In addition to the trip, each participant must run a crowdfunding campaign and raise a minimum of $3,000 in donations for the CHUS Foundation, supporting the department of their choice.
