Activity description

Enjoy spectacular views of the Gros Bras valley, in the heart of the Grands-Jardins National Park in Charlevoix, from the Mont-du-lac-des-Cygnes and its via ferrata courses!

The via ferrata is an ideal outdoor activity to practice alone, with family, or with friends to enjoy panoramic views from the heights of rock faces. Here, on Mont-du-lac-des-Cygnes, the course will offer you beautiful views of the Gros Bras valley, as well as the fauna and flora of the Grands-Jardins National Park. The via ferrata is one of the activities not to be missed if you are in the Charlevoix region!

Two routes are proposed on the via ferrata:

For each of these routes, you will have to cross three beams, as well as a Nepalese bridge. The via ferrata of the Mont-du-lac-des-Cygnes in Charlevoix offers you the thrill of heights and beautiful landscapes!
