La grande traversée – day hike | 1 day

Start at the Massif sector trailhead and hike about 12 km to the Pont-Suspendu gate. On the day of your excursion, your guide will help you choose between two route options based on group fitness, weather, and preferences. Option Panorama: a more active itinerary with added climbs and descents, featuring ridge lines, lookouts, and sweeping views. Option Valleys & Rivers: a gentler, more accessible route that meanders past lakes and streams, avoiding steep elevation while still offering lovely viewpoints.

    Meet at 8:30 a.m. near Radisson metro in Montréal, then settle in for a scenic drive to Forêt Ouareau’s Massif sector. After a quick safety briefing and final route check with your guide, set off on a morning hike paced with photo-worthy stops. Enjoy a picnic-style lunch outdoors (not included). In the afternoon, continue the point-to-point traverse to the Pont-Suspendu gate, where the group reunites before the comfortable ride back to Montréal in the late afternoon.
