Ascent of Mont du Lac-des-Cygnes via the Le Pioui trail
Mont du Lac-des-Cygnes, at 981 meters, rises in Saint-Urbain and offers the best panoramic view of the Charlevoix crater available on foot. The Le Pioui trail climbs in 2.5 hours through maple and then fir forests before opening onto an alpine tundra found nowhere else at this latitude. The summit reveals the valleys, ridges, and the St. Lawrence River in a single sweep. Dogs are welcome, and the hiking season runs from May to October.
