Breathtaking spot to see some stars. My friends and I got really lucky, the sky was clear and we spend almost 3 hours up there. The lab itself was not open, but we could just lay down in the snow and watch the sky. I recommand it for anyone, at any time of the year. (We visited in february 2012)

Excellent place for snowshoeing, cross country skiing, hiking and also spending a night in a little chalet! Challenge for all level of people, trails are awesome. I went there during a snow storm (15 cm in a single day), it was absolutely amazing. A must if you like snowshoeing.

We went to the Astronomy Evening. The evening was conducted entirely in French, which we don't understand, but that only took a small part away from it. The park is a "dark sky area", which means there are amazing views of the night sky. As part of the evening, we were allowed to view the skies through two professional telescopes,... More
