In a few words

The Parc du Massif du Sud offers a vast network of trails (71 km). Sometimes in the hollow of the valleys following the river, and sometimes in the mountains, the different routes will lead you to magnificent panoramas.

Between the tumultuous Portes-de-l'Enfer canyon, the magnificent panorama from the summit of the Crête des grives, and our popular Mont Chocolat, let yourself be surprised by the diversity of the landscapes. In the fall, the colors shine in the hollow of the valleys and the maple groves unfold their most beautiful assets! Dogs on leashes are accepted.

Three interpretation trails will allow you to learn more about the habitats that characterize the Park. Guided hikes in mycology and about edible and medicinal plants are offered. Our annual Perseid observation activity is very popular and the high-ropes course is a hit with children and families!
