Calvaire Trail (J)
This was a short intermediate trail (1km) with a 150m ascent. We did this one by accident and then were surprised when we found out that this one had the best viewpoint on the town.

La Sapinière Trail (2)
Trail 2 is a ski trail. If ever you see ski trails on a map, assume that they are wide and easy.
The view at the summit was decent but not enough to stop and bask in nature’s beauty. We simply were back on our way to play in the forest.
Fun fact : There is a private manor at the sumit… I’m pretty sure that they have a nicer view than we did.
