Amazing view of the lake here with multiple hiking options.
You can either take the more intense path, going up to 946m (according to our GPS), walking through rocks and roots for hours and get your heart pumping for a few hours or take a more tame version with wooden stairs to the top. Both give you access to a wonderful view. Make sure you have layers to accommodate for warmer and colder temperatures throughout your hike!
It's worth going to. Gorgeous views plus you may see a lynx on the trail! The service office is well stocked and modern with anything you may need like liquids and snacks. Well marked trails.
Did the 5 km walk from the visitor centre. We were a family of 6. Steep inclines but path all the way and manageable for a 10 year old. Views at top and along path well worth it. Need to plan 3 hours.
Pioui trail is the best. Intermediate difficulty, takes you on a loop via 3 really nice observation spots on top of the mountains. Conveniently starts at the parking lot of the info-centre of the park. Recommend hiking early to skip the heat and many people. A big part of a trail is through tight rough and rocky way.
Overall - amazing experience!
What a beautiful place to go hiking. Beautiful scenery and nice trails. We went woth my little girls and they love it. When you get to the top, you get your reward, breathless scenery!
