Discover the superb natural landscapes of the Charlevoix region by taking the via ferrata of the Falcon!
Less than 10 minutes from Saint-Siméon, the Palissades park in Charlevoix is an isolated natural space in the mountains. Whether you are a nature lover or an outdoor adventure enthusiast, this is a place that will please you! In summer, or in autumn when the leaves of the trees take on beautiful colors, the mountain activities it offers will give you a good time in Charlevoix!
The via ferrata of the Falcon is one of the two possible via ferrata routes during summer time in the park, but also the most natural. Its route was designed to avoid over-equipping the rock face, while offering you enough natural holds. It only takes 15 minutes of walking to get to the start of the via ferrata, and then about 2.5 hours to complete the route. Halfway up, you will find the balcony of the Falcons, an incredible place to admire the Palissades park in Charlevoix: don't miss the opportunity to take some nice pictures in front of this panorama!
Once the via ferrata of the Falcon is finished, you can choose to end your outing here and go back down the eagle trail, or to continue and test yourself on the next obstacles: two zip lines, a Nepalese bridge located at 200 meters high and an abseiling from 70 meters high. Thrill seekers will be absolutely thrilled by the complete via ferrata course of the Falcon!
