Nature - Parc régional de Val-David-Val-Morin

Parc régional de Val-David‑Val-Morin provides a magnificent site for outdoors enthusiasts, dedicated to ecotourism. This park, which was largely created thanks to the participation of local citizens, is devoted to the protection and conservation of our natural and recreo-touristic heritage and is the fruit of more than 25 years of concerted efforts.

This protected zone is criss-crossed by nearly one hundred kilometres of trails, which are used by hikers and cross-country skiers. Anyone who loves taking a forest walk can do so in the peace and tranquility of any one of the numerous trails of varying degrees of difficulty. There are scenic viewpoints, belvederes and huts to make your visit even more pleasant.

For those who like more exciting activities, several kilometres of trails are set aside for mountain biking. Steepish climbs and descents take you through a truly remarkable natural landscape. These trails are used by cross-country skiers in wintertime.

Did you know that Val-David is also the site where the first organized rock-climbing took place in Québec, and that the rock walls on which this popular sport is still practiced are within the Secteur Dufresne of the Parc régional de Val-David‑Val-Morin?

For some years now, climbers from all over the place come to practise their sport and enjoy the beauty of our natural surroundings. Mounts Césaire, Condor and King, all of which are within the Park, provide more than 500 routes which have been categorized and rated. From the beginner’s walls to the more advanced climbs of all kinds, Val-David offers a veritable rock-climbing garden with something for climbers of every level.
