A 700 m zipline at Parc Régional Monte-à-Peine-et-des-Dalles
Monte-à-Peine-et-des-Dalles regional park is adding new attractions to its lineup: an observation tower and a 700 m double mega zipline. The solidly anchored tower overlooking the valley will give visitors unobstructed views of the Assomption river valley and the surrounding scenery.
Designed with side-by-side seating for two people at a time, the zipline promises a safe and intense experience, pairing thrilling sensations with a bird’s eye view of the area.
The tower and zipline are part of a plan to enhance the site and develop active and sustainable tourism in harmony with the environment. It further strengthens the park’s appeal as a leading outdoor destination in Lanaudière.
