Watching and feeding chickadees
A “bird feeder” custom built by our fantastic team is located on one of the platforms on the pathway.
It attracts, among others, chickadees and some squirrels: come and observe them and why not offer them a handful of seeds so that the birds eat out of your hand!

Can I fly a drone on the Sentier des cimes?
Can I fly a drone on the Sentier des cimes?
Everyone is allowed to take pictures and videos for private purposes on the Sentier des cimes. However, overflights and filming with drones are prohibited. In addition to environmental protection (noise caused by large drones, disturbance of strictly protected animal habitats during take-off, landing and flight of drones), this prohibition is also intended to protect our visitors from unwanted filming.
For photos and films made on the Sentier des cimes for commercial purposes, a filming permit is always required.

To the FAQDog
Can I bring my dog?
Can I bring my dog?
Dogs and other animals are unfortunately not allowed on the walkway of Sentier des cimes (with the exception of assistance dogs*).
This rule is primarily for the safety and well-being of everyone:
- the walkway is narrow and elevated, which can be stressful for some animals;
- unpredictable behavior, even if rare, can put the animal or visitors at risk;
- there is no space to retreat in case of fear or reaction.
Good news! Your four-legged companion is welcome on the grounds of the Ancienne-Pisciculture:
- on the pedestrian trails surrounding the Ancienne-Pisciculture,
- in the adjacent park,
- and on the outdoor terrace of our restaurant Chez Émile.
Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times.
*Guide dogs and assistance dogs are permitted at all times. For assistance dogs, individuals accompanied by their dog must provide documentation from a health professional attesting to their need (due to a disability, medical condition, or mental health condition) and the usefulness of the animal to meet that need. They must also provide information and documentation regarding the animal’s behavior and any risk it may present in a public space such as Sentier des cimes Laurentides (https://www.cdpdj.qc.ca/en/your-obligations/prohibited-grounds/handicap-animaux).
