About
The trail begins at the Lac à l’Est and climbs Mont Élie over nearly 8 km (one way) and represents a intermediate/advanced level of difficulty. There is a refuge at Lac Éclair at the 6th km. Signage provides guidance to hikers and the summit unfolds breathtaking views. The Zec leases a yurt located at Lac à l’Est.
