Treetop Observatory and Walk
Description
The Treetop walk is a new and truly unique way to take in scenic views from above the trees. You will start the walk along a path that winds through the forest and up to the treetops. The nearly one-kilometre path leads to the observation tower that rises 40 m (equivalent to a 12-storey building) above the forest to offer a stunning bird’s eye view of the Laurentian forests and mountains. The walk ways and main tower, with a maximum slope of 6 degrees, are completely accessible to strollers and wheelchairs. From the top, you’ll have a breathtaking view of the rolling hills typical of the Laurentian mountain range, and landmarks such as Mont-Tremblant. The total distance including the tower walk is 2.7 km round trip and takes about 1 to 2 hours. The activity takes place at a former fish hatchery with lovely grounds and a heritage building that includes a restaurant. LUMAGICA OPTION : Access from 4pm until April 5

It is especially that the experience is quite unique and that the site is accessible for octogenarians. The bird feeding station was very appreciated by the customers. You should install a few more at different levels. Add some comfortable seating at the top of the tower.
We had to start the tour at 10 am it was closed and impossible to get refunded in case of bad weather it would be good to provide an option cancellation on the day of the tour
Il y a eu une erreur entre notre système de réservation et celui de Viator ou vous avez réservé. Vous n'auriez pas dû être capable de réserver avant 12h cette journée-là car, selon notre horaire, on ouvrait à 12h (comme tous les jours ou on offre l'expérience de nuit). Nous sommes sincèrement désolés. Veuillez nous contacter pour qu'on puisse corriger la situation.
Really enjoyed this visit. It was well organised with car park marshalls when I first arrived. Then the ticket office was well managed and off I went on the boardwalk to the observatory tower. Reasonably busy throughout but not too crowded. Didn't try the cafe which didn't look very inviting. Maybe menu was more than 2 hot dogs with chips. Souvenir shop was good. Really enjoyed the visit
The climb was very scenic and well organized. The tower is modern and well kept. Signage is good. The grounds are nicely landscaped with trails and picnic tables. If you are a senior or person with mobility issues beware that there is not a single bench to rest upon throughout the entire climb, despite the walkway being wide enough to easily accommodate benches.
Thanks for posting. Good point. We do have 3 benches along the elevated walkway to the tower but none on actual tower itself. I will pass on the suggestion. We do have; -an elevator to get to the platform -wheelchairs to lend -mobility friendly bathrooms and reception
This is an awesome place! It’s an easy walk to the top where you’ll get incredible views. I highly recommend it!
The site on top is spectacular. Really refreshing. You need to take your time to walk as you might run out of breath ☺️ overall the site itself is well maintained and staff are wonderful. Highly recommend 👍
This place is amazing! Beautiful park, park benches, and kid's play area. The walk up to the structure was long, but easy. The climb up the treetop was also easy and worth every step to see the beautiful view!
Well designed structure. Would be cool to see acrobatic show there. Not too difficult a climb. Nice gift shop and pretty gardens
Did not make it because the cost of getting out there is expensive. The Uber out there from Montreal is over $100
Hi, We are not located in Montreal. We are in a town about 1.5 hours away. Sorry you didn't make it. Viator: I don't think this review respects your review guidelines as the guest did not arrive to participate in the activity. Please advise :-)
Beautiful view! Nice moment! The only problem is that TripAdvisor does not give the tourist site the right opening times this season and asks to choose a time slot when one can visit at any time of the day. Be sure to check the schedules before going there because we arrived 1 hour before opening because of bad info from TripAdvisor. Fortunately the staff is welcoming and friendly.
