About this experience

The Treetop walk is a new and truly unique way to take in scenic views from above the trees.

You will start the walk along a path that winds through the forest and up to the treetops. The nearly one-kilometre path leads to the observation tower that rises 40 m (equivalent to a 12-storey building) above the forest to offer a stunning bird’s eye view of the Laurentian forests and mountains.

The walk ways and main tower, with a maximum slope of 6 degrees, are completely accessible to strollers and wheelchairs.

From the top, you’ll have a breathtaking view of the rolling hills typical of the Laurentian mountain range, and landmarks such as Mont-Tremblant.

The total distance including the tower walk is 2.7 km round trip and takes about 2 hours.

The activity takes place at a former fish hatchery with lovely grounds and a heritage building that includes a restaurant.
