Clip in and cross summits: Mont-Catherine’s guided zipline tour sends you across four mega cables—including a 3,200-foot flight—over maple forests and rocky ridgelines. This 2.5-hour outing blends a short hike with high-speed canopy runs and clear safety protocols.

You climb away from the parking lot through a maple-and-spruce understory, the trail crunching underfoot as the Laurentian ridgeline opens above. The first summit lets you catch your breath—then you clip in. The wind takes you, low above the canopy, and the mountain that felt steady a moment ago seems to lean toward you. Four cables, each with a different speed and view, stitch a vivid line across the valley: 2,100 feet, 1,800 feet, a minute-long flight across 3,200 feet, and a final 2,100-foot sweep back to base. You are, simply, flying across the Laurentians.
