Trail description

Planning your visit

The park features 18 km of marked trails across different difficulty levels, including the popular Grande Boucle (Full Loop) of 20 km that leads to the summit. The right plan depends on what kind of day you're after. If the summit is your main goal, build in time not just for the climb and descent but for actually being at the top—the panorama is the reason you came, and it deserves more than a few minutes. If you're coming in winter for skiing or snowshoeing, plan your layers for the transition between sheltered forest sections and the open, exposed summit environment, where conditions will feel noticeably different.
