* Some age, weight and height conditions apply - Duration approx. 4 hours* Via Ferrata (a mix of rock climbing and hiking on a cliff face) 4 Mega Zip lines totaling 2.6 km in the air
The Via Ferrata is a hike on a rock cliff equipped with metal anchors and a steel cable to facilitate and secure the activity. A Via Ferrata is a mix of hiking and rock climbing. Different Via Ferrata routes offer a variety of difficulty levels and are supervised by certified guides.
The difficulty level of the via ferrata included in The Discovery Plus is from beginner to intermediate.
You will start the activity by taking a 450-meter hike from the chalet to the foot of the cliff of the Cap Beauséjour and the start of the Via Ferrata. From there you get into the ascent of the rock wall of over 60-meter high, the equivalent of a 20-floor building. Along your path on the continuous life line, on top of steps and handles you will also cross different types of bridges, all allowing you to reach the top of the cliff. Thrills guaranteed !
At the top (or on your way up if you are game), you can admire views of the entire region of Ste Agathe-des-Monts.
From there, after a short hike on the cliff top, you take your first flight on a 610 meters long mega zip line to the other side of the mountain. Stroll the 20 meters across the platform to where you will fly on the second zip line over a distance of 450 meters which brings you back to the foot of The Cap Beauséjour. Then you will hike up 450 meters through the cliff faces to the longest mega zip line for a flight of 900 meters long and at a height of 115meters, an experience you will not soon forget. After your ride of over a minute, you will jump onto the last mega zip line for a final flight of 650 meters which brings you back to the foot of the cliff of The Cap Beauséjour.
