Défi Everest Orford
Défi Everest Orford is a Mont Orford, Orford, Quebec, Canada event presented by Défi Sportif AlterGo. The sixth edition takes place September 18–21, 2025, outdoors in all weather. Teams of volunteer hikers guide people with mobility limitations up Mont Orford using specialized equipment such as Joëlette chairs and Trackz Mobility wheelchairs, with a new category for participants who need assistance without equipment.
The experience blends sport and humanity, highlighting accessibility and inclusion. There are no entry fees; fundraising or donations are encouraged to reach a goal of about $40,000 for AlterGo’s programs. The challenge aims for 19 ascents, equaling Everest’s elevation.
