Superb experience on this easy-rated trail in the beautiful Laurentides region. The belvedere viewpoint is absolutely breathtaking and justifies the entire 17.5km journey. Well-organized with good parking facilities at 1000 Chemin de la Montagne, plus the refuge provides a nice rest stop. Highly recommend for a full day adventure.

Pretty cool place. You will love for sure! :-) The belvedere provides amazing panoramic views after the gentle 100m elevation gain. The reception pavilion staff are helpful with trail information, and having proper facilities like toilets makes the 17.5km hike much more comfortable. Worth every penny despite the access fees!
