A short walk featuring a circular loop on the slopes of Mont Otis, with views of the River Batiscan and Notre-Dame-de-Montauban. Easy to complete and offering superb views in autumn during the peak of the colours. Most of the route runs through woodland, and stones arranged in steps make the climb easier.
