About
Quick facts: The park spans 200 hectares and has around 20 km of trails for hiking and cross-country skiing. It has a breathtaking viewpoint called Kondiaronk Belvedere with panoramic views of the city skyline and the St. Lawrence River.
Highlights: The Smith House chalet at the summit is a special place where nature meets art. It was designed by well-known architect Ernest Cormier. In winter, a large hill becomes a popular toboggan area where people of all ages enjoy classic fun.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes for the varied trails and dress in layers as weather changes quickly on the mountain.
- Best photos come from Kondiaronk Belvedere around sunrise or sunset for stunning light on the city skyline.
- Avoid weekends after heavy snow if you want quieter sledding spots.
- Skip the lower parking lots during peak hours; the upper lots near the summit fill up faster.
