The Charlevoix Palissades

The Charlevoix Palissades is a mountain adventure park located in the Charlevoix region of Quebec. More specifically, it is situated in Saint-Siméon region, north of La Malbaie.

It is not very difficult to hike to the top, and along the trail you will find some areas dedicated for climbers. It is also worth mentioning the magical forest, filled with movie-like mosses and small lakes.

The park also has its own Via Ferrata as well as other types of activities, making it a common hub for all adventure seekers.
