If you're looking for a new outdoor adventure just a short drive from Montreal, you might want to keep an eye on Arbraska Laflèche. On Tuesday, the Trekking Group announced a $2.6-million ecotourism project set to fully launch over the next couple of years in the Outaouais region.
The new attractions will include a massive treetop trampoline course, an underground immersive experience, and a chance to camp in floating tree tents.
According to Jean-Francois Couture, Chief of Marketing and Development at The Trekking Group, the idea is to "attract families from across Quebec and around the world to the beautiful Outaouais region." It's all about encouraging people to get outside, get moving, and connect with nature in a different way.
Here's what's coming:
Upla - North America's largest outdoor trampolines
The tree-lined net course will be the largest of its kind in North America.
If you've ever wanted to bounce around in a forest and feel like a kid again, you might want to check this out. Upla will be a 12,000-square-foot trampoline course built high up in the trees, complete with nine bouncing zones, two vertical tunnels, and multiple slides. It's being hyped as the largest outdoor trampoline setup in North America and will be the second of its kind in Quebec.
Basically, it's a playground for adults and kids who don't mind heights.
Launching: June 2025
Oba - Underground immersion
The experience is being built in the largest cave in the Canadian Shield, Caverne Laflèche.
Things are getting a bit more mysterious at Lafleche Cave, the largest cave in the Canadian Shield. Oba will be an immersive experience mixing storytelling, soundscapes, and light shows to take you through 20,000 years of history. It's a pretty ambitious concept that's meant to be both educational and just plain cool to look at.
Launching: Fall 2025
Nesta - Aerial camping
A total of six spherical tents will be suspended.
If you've ever wondered what it's like to sleep suspended high in the trees, Nesta is for you. Starting in 2026, visitors will be able to spend the night in spherical tents hanging in the forest canopy. It's supposed to be a chill way to disconnect from the city and just enjoy a night under the stars.
Launching: Spring 2026
