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!

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Drone
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 FAQBarriere
Is the walkway wheelchair accessible?
Is the walkway wheelchair accessible?
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.
To the FAQDog
Can I bring my dog?
Can I bring my dog?
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)
