Ride a tracked shuttle to the top of Devil’s Mountain and then climb to the top of the Fire Guard Tower, the 21-meter-high observation tower. An incredible experience that must be put on the list of activities to do in winter! In addition to the experience of going up/down by shuttle, once at the top, there is a 360-degree view! A unique and immersive discovery of the Hautes-Laurentides and Laurentides region.

Good to know

• Important: Safety guidelines for children
  – If a child requires a car seat appropriate for their weight and height, the accompanying adult(s) must bring it on the day of the activity.
  – For safety reasons, children aged 5 and under are not permitted to ride in the shuttle.

• The climb with shuttle, through the forest, lasts 45 minutes and the descent is the same length.
• Visitors have the option of skiing or snowshoeing without changing the price.
• It is recommended to dress warmly, as conditions in the mountains can be changeable and colder at the mountain’s top.
• All departures are from the parking lot in the Village des Bâtisseurs sector (P2). Parking is free.
• Access to the tower obviously remains possible by snowshoeing or Nordic skiing: the round trip is approximately 15 km with an elevation gain of approximately 430 m. It is therefore recommended to leave early in the morning.
• Dogs are not allowed inside the shuttle.
• The shuttle will operate every winter, the start and end dates of the ascents will vary each year since they are dependent on the volume of snow cover. These dates will therefore be communicated at the start of winter via the newsletter, social networks and the Park website.
