FAQ for your visit to the Sentier des cimes Laurentides

Dogs* or any other animals are unfortunately not allowed on the walkway.

In addition to the hygiene aspect, the safety aspect for animals and humans plays a major role in the prohibition of animals on the walkway. Although most owners might act responsibly and keep an eye on their animals, dogs can show unexpected behavior towards strangers or other animals. Fear of heights can also trigger an uncontrolled flight response in dogs. Unfortunately, the narrow path width does not offer any retreat or escape option for animals or for people who are afraid of dogs.

*Exception: Disabled companion and assistance dogs**.

**For assistance dogs, persons accompanied by their dog must present a document from a health professional attesting to the person’s need (due to a disability, medical condition or mental health issue) and the animal’s usefulness in alleviating that need. They must also present information and documentation on the animal’s behaviour and the risk it presents in a public space such as the Sentier des cimes Laurentides (https://www.cdpdj.qc.ca/en/your-obligations/prohibited-grounds/handicap-animaux)

The walkway and the panoramic tower have no obstacles and are therefore easily accessible with a wheelchair or a stroller.

With a maximum slope of 6%, the path has several areas with no inclination, where it is possible to rest.

During the winter season, walkway conditions may cause difficulty for wheelchair access.  Please contact us at 873-229-0363 to verify.

The Sentier des cimes is open all year round, find our opening hours for each season here.

In the event of special weather conditions, such as thunderstorms or high winds, or other situations beyond our control, such as a power failure, the site will be closed.

The announcement of the closure will be made on our Facebook page.

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.

No. Only rubber crampons are allowed, and only walking sticks with rubber or plastic tips are allowed so as not to damage the wooden structure.

The Treetop Walk is well maintained and monitored every day to ensure the best possible walking conditions; although we cannot guarantee that the surface is not slippery, every effort is made to keep it safe and easy to access.

For safety reasons, you cannot access the path with in-line skates, skateboards, scooters or bicycles.

Smoking is not allowed on the Sentier des cimes Laurentides. This may sound strange for an outdoor leisure activity, but remember: you are in a strictly protected area. Carelessly discarded cigarette butts are unwanted roommates that not only last a lifetime (2-7 years), but can also start forest fires.

Of course, food and drink that you bring with you are allowed. However, please note that everything you bring with you must be taken with you. For the sake of the environment, we ask you not to litter the trail and to leave it as you would like it. You will find rubbish bins at several places around the trail.

The width of the trail is 8 feet (2.5 meters).

The majority of visitors who are afraid of heights climb to the top of the panoramic tower and are surprised at how much they do not feel the fear of heights. Their comments all point in the same direction: they feel safe and the pleasure of the experience overcomes the vertigo.

Some of them even manage to walk on the net hanging from the top of the tower.

Bring comfortable clothes adapted to the season.

In summer, remember to bring a hat, mosquito repellent and sunscreen.

And don’t forget warm clothes because it can get cold at the top of the panoramic tower.

We recommend that you wear comfortable clothing and footwear appropriate for the season.

It is possible to access the Sentier des cimes in sandals or high heels, but not ideal!

None at all! The trail is safe for everyone.
