Oiseau mécanique 2024

A touch of enchantment

Experience The Mechanical Bird, a magical flight where grandeur and extraordinary meet! This iconic nighttime attraction returns with a renewed and never-seen-before format, featuring a festive area at the summit of the mountain, a gondola descent to the river, a course including a new tableau on the base trail, and a luminous chairlift ascent to the summit.

Also, enjoy dinner-show packages now offered at the cafeteria of the summit chalet, as well as at the Camp Boule restaurant, to make your evening a unique immersive experience!

vélo de montagne 2022

Pedal away!

Embark on a two-wheeled adventure with our latest offerings designed especially for mountain biking enthusiasts! Nearly 15 additional kilometres of trails have been added, starting from certain cross-country ski trails on the Sentier des Caps, now adapted for biking – such as La Boréale and the Lac Gauthier loop – providing a total of nearly 55 km of terrain to explore solo, with a partner, or with the family.

The shop also offers electric bike rentals from the summit chalet for full enjoyment. Mark your vacation calendar for an unforgettable excursion!

Randonnée été famille

Free entertainment and activities to delight you

Every evening from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., except on Tuesdays, programming featuring guided hikes to Le Buton and campfire storytelling is offered at the mountain summit, free of charge to all guests! A perfect way to extend the adventure between a day spent at the mountain and The Mechanical Bird, or to conclude the day by relaxing before returning to your mountain accommodation.

For those dining at the Camp Boule mountain pub, a treasure hunt will be offered to young explorers, entertaining them while adults enjoy their dessert or digestif.

In case of rain, indoor alternatives are provided.

Maisons Grande-pointe

A restful sleep

Ideally located at the summit or at the foot of the trails, between the river and the mountain, our accommodation units tailored to the needs of families and groups of friends, such as the new Chalets Grande-Pointe, offer a perfect blend of modern comfort and natural beauty.

These additions complement our range of mountain accommodations, including studios, chalets, and apartments, while awaiting the opening of the Camp de base and its 120 ski-in ski-out condo-hotel units scheduled for 2026.
