The Summit Challenge invites you to climb 12 peaks throughout the year and explore our 193 km signposted scenic route!

Located in the heart of the first International Dark Sky Reserve, Summit Drive invites you to discover breathtaking panoramas of impressive mountains, majestic lakes and a sky with thousands of stars.

The Summit Road is proud to announce the launch of the 2nd edition of the Summit Road Challenge, an outdoor challenge open to all aimed at promoting the magnificent peaks and walking trails of this signposted tourist route in the Eastern Townships.

Two challenges for all levels

From June 2024 to May 2025, we are offering two challenges per season to reach even more people!

• Family Challenge: Discover 3 walking trails per season, for a total of 12 throughout the year. This challenge is perfect for families who wish to explore beautiful trails in the municipalities crossed by the Summit Road.

• Adventure Challenge: Climb 3 peaks per season, for a total of 12 throughout the year. This challenge is designed for experienced hikers and outdoor enthusiasts looking for a more challenging experience.

Prizes to be won each season !

Each season, participants who have completed the Family Challenge or the Adventure Challenge will have a chance to win a prize. A grand draw will take place at the end of the year among all those who have completed the 12 peaks or the 12 walking trails.
