See the Outaouais and Canada’s Capital Region like you’ve never seen them before. It’s time to hop aboard a helicopter and discover the area’s impressive landscapes! Heli-Tremblant offers several packages, including panoramic flights ranging from 10 to 45 minutes for groups of 1 to 3 people. Book now and benefit from a 15% discount on all 3-person flights.
Ready for a high-level adventure? Arbraska Laflèche offers thrilling aerial routes for the whole family. Daredevils will go for the Ziptour, which includes eight mega zip lines. Soar above an immense forest and zoom over lakes! Looking for a challenge? Choose the Zipline & Aerial Game Trek, with its zip lines and obstacles, suspension bridges, lianas and swings. Would you rather go down into the depths of the earth? Venture into the largest visited cave in the Canadian Shield!
For the thrill of a lifetime this summer, head to one of the world’s most spectacular bungee sites and experience the highest bungee jump on the continent. From a spot called Goliath, leap off the jumping platform 61 metres (200 feet) above the Morrison Quarry, overlooking a 48-metre(160-foot)-deep aqua-blue lagoon. Not a fan of bungee jumping? Take a zip-line ride over the clear waters of the lagoon, on a 310-meter (1015-foot) long course. You'll find the course unreal!
Adventure calls! To recover from the excitement of your day, may we suggest a visit to a local pub or bar? Here are some suggestions of places to enjoy a drink and a meal in the Outaouais.
Outaouais, my little corner of paradise where I grew up and which I have the pleasure of introducing to you. My little pleasures: Local gastronomy, a good glass of wine around a warm fire and little hidden treasures, both cozy and unusual, which allow me to escape. Without forgetting the breathtaking landscapes of the waterways, which add a touch of magic to our beautiful region. Why not enjoy it ? Come take a look!
