According to the site's operators, it will be one of the longest forest slides in Quebec and Canada.</p><p>The slide will be built directly into the treetop experience already offered at the site. If you haven't been, the Sentier des cimes features an elevated boardwalk roughly one kilometre long, which leads to a 40-metre-tall panoramic observation tower. The route is fully accessible and gives visitors a rare perspective of the surrounding Laurentian forest from above.</p><p>The slide is designed to deliver some speed while still keeping safety in mind. It includes a gradual deceleration zone, and staff will be on-site to ensure everything runs smoothly. A small additional fee will apply to use the slide, though the exact cost hasn't been confirmed yet. Visitors will also need a regular day pass to access the rest of the site, which is currently priced at $31 for adults. An <a href="https://laurentides.sentierdescimes.ca/fr/abonnements.htm" target="_blank">annual pass</a> is available as well and can be worthwhile if you're planning multiple visits throughout the year.</p><p>In addition to the new slide, the Sentier des cimes will once again be hosting seasonal events, including performances by LÀ-HAUT, a local aerial circus troupe known for staging high-flying acrobatic shows at the top of the tower. </p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/C9-0qTBxLTI/" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"> <div style="padding:8px;"> <div style="background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"> <div style="background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"> </div> </div> <p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C9-0qTBxLTI/" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_top">See on Instagram</a> </p> </div> </blockquote><script async="" defer="" src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script><p>The site also offers interpretive displays along the walkways for those curious about local flora, fauna, and forest ecology.</p><span></span><h3>Glissade Sentier des cimes</h3><br/><div class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="63fc35ccc0b1f1672f057dcaf9ebc261"><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/SentierdescimesLaurentides/posts/630723796389440?ref=embed_post"></div></div><p><strong>Where:</strong> Sentier des cimes Laurentides<br/>737 rue de la Pisciculture, Mont-Blanc, QC<br/><strong>When:</strong> Late June 2025 (opening date to be confirmed)<br/><strong>Website:</strong> <a href="https://treetop-walks.com/laurentides/en-ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">sentierdescimes.ca</a></p><p><em>Love this?
