The Treetop Walk at Sentier des Cimes Laurentides is an elevated path that takes visitors through the forest canopy on a footbridge, finishing at a main observation tower 40 metres high with a 360-degree view of the Laurentian forest and mountains. The round trip is about 2,700 metres and takes roughly two hours. The footbridge and tower are designed with a maximum slope of 6 percent, so strollers and wheelchairs can use them, which makes this one of the most accessible nature experiences in the region. The site is about 20 minutes from Tremblant, and transport is not included from the Tremblant Activity Centre. It is open daily and year-round, and it is quite different in each season: fall colour, bare winter branches and spring buds all change the view.
What to do
Walk the footbridge at an easy pace, stopping at the interpretive points, and climb or ride up the tower for the panorama. The path is gentle, so children and older visitors can enjoy it, and the site offers a free wheelchair on request, which you reserve by phone. It is a good activity for a mixed-ability group that wants a nature outing without a hike.
Important dates
The page lists the site as closed from 16 to 27 November 2026, on 25 December 2026 and on 1 January 2027, and it is open year-round otherwise, generally from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with extended hours in high season. The last entry is one hour before closing. In early November the walk is open, but plan your visit before the 16th, and check the schedule on the day because hours can change.
Planning tips
Allow about two hours, plus the drive of about 20 minutes from the resort. Wear warm layers and shoes with grip, since the boardwalk can be wet or icy in cold weather. Admission prices vary by age and season, with free entry for the youngest children and family passes in the regular season, so check the current rates before you go. It pairs well with a P'tit Train du Nord ride or a village lunch, and it works on days when the ski hill is closed.
