It's one of the main attractions of the park with its 980 metres of altitude. Once at the top, the panorama views let you admire the meteorite crater of Charlevoix, on the valley of Gros-Bras.
The route is described as difficult, so it's for those who enjoy more demanding hikes. The round trip takes four hours and covers about eight and a half kilometres.
Visitors can go there at any time of the year by following the Mont-du-Lac-des-Cygnes trail and access for the day costs $9 per adult.
