Celebrate the holidays on a festive canopy walk

From December 26, 2024 to January 6, 2025, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the site takes on a magical festive vibe for the Holidays at the Sentier des cimes event. After a refreshing stroll and taking in the breathtaking winter panoramas, warm up by the outdoor fireplaces with mulled wine for adults and complimentary hot chocolate for the little ones. Add to that games, live entertainment (on select days), and a photo booth to capture your bright smiles, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a winter day the whole family will love!

Experience the Sentier’s magic after dark

On Saturday, December 28, 2024, the magic extends into the evening with the Night Path event! Head to the top of the tower at 4 p.m. to marvel at the landscapes as the sun dips below the horizon, then immerse yourself in the beauty of the night sky. Or enjoy a serene evening stroll along the trail, where the darkness heightens all your senses. To warm up, indulge in a comforting meal — tartiflette or classic poutine — served from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. (be sure to make a reservation!). End the night stargazing and reconnecting with loved ones around the fire.

Start the New Year with a spectacular sunrise stroll

Start 2025 on a high note with the New Year’s Rising Sun event on Saturday, January 4, 2025, starting at 6:30 a.m. (yes, that's right — bright and early!). Witness a spectacular sunrise at 7:40 a.m. (clear skies permitting), with complimentary coffee and sweet treats to enjoy before you head out. After all, there’s nothing quite like a warm coffee and panoramic views to kick off your day — and your year! Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to ease back into early mornings before returning to school and work routines.
