Fall Colours Chairlift Experience
There is nothing quite like autumn in the Ottawa Valley.
Ride the chairlift above a sweeping landscape of red, orange and gold as the mountain transforms for the season. From peaceful panoramic views to crisp walks along the mountain trails, Fall Colours at Calabogie Peaks is a simple and unforgettable way to experience one of Ontario’s most beautiful times of year.
At the summit, you can step off the chairlift, take in the view and walk down the mountain using one of our designated trails. Please dress for changing mountain weather and wear suitable footwear if you plan to hike.
Prefer to ride back down? Downhill chairlift transportation is available, although capacity is limited to one out of every four chairs. Please allow additional time and follow the direction of our mountain team.
Bring the family, meet up with friends or make it part of a fall weekend getaway.
Saturdays and Sundays from September 19 – October 11, and Thanksgiving Monday, October 12.
9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
