Monkey bridges, nets, beams, vines and ziplines that end the loop above a river: treetop courses have sprung up in every region of Quebec, from mid-May to Thanksgiving. This guide gathers Quebec’s aerial courses, treetop adventure parks and ziplines, with each one’s listing, courses by level, minimum ages and prices.
Choosing your course
Each park offers several colour-coded courses, from beginner to extreme; a ticket usually gives access to everything for three or four hours. The big ziplines (several hundred metres, sometimes more than a kilometre) are often sold separately. Check the listing for minimum height, maximum weight and the continuous safety system, which prevents any unclipping.
Before you go
Book online for summer weekends, wear closed shoes and fitted clothes, tie hair back and leave jewellery in the car. A three-hour course calls for water and a snack; parks rarely have a restaurant.
With kids
Children’s courses start around age five, a metre off the ground, with a parent at the foot of the trees; from eight or nine, kids follow adults on intermediate courses. Go in the morning, when the kids have the most energy, and choose a park with a playground or a beach for the afternoon.
