La Grisante: downhill trail adapted for beginners
Why not give downhill a first try riding La Grisante, a 6km intermediate run that circles around the North side
before taking you back down the South side. This season, thanks to the acquisition of a brand new
mechanical digger (of a $42 000 value), the trail has been modified, with a friendlier drop at the end, new
turns and more. To discover, or rediscover… absolutely!
Over all, the mountain offers over 55km trails for beginners and intermediates, over 40% of its total trail
network, which are meticulously designed and maintained.
