Bromont: Discover Hiking and Nature

Bromont offers a range of options for planning your trip: hikes and views, architectural history, seasonal family activities, sled dogs, and activities on the water. Which themes you combine depends on whether you want to focus on a route of a set length, a viewpoint, culture, or a seasonal activity. The places and activities offer specific options without requiring you to plan your stay around a single itinerary.

Hiking Trails and Views

At the Belvédère du Puy de Moufle, panoramic views open up over the Anschald reservoir, the Chaîne des Puys, and the Massif du Sancy. The viewpoint is open daily throughout the year. Check local conditions before your visit.

The GR®89 – Chemin de Montaigne leads to the hamlet of Malsaigne in the municipality of Bromont-Lamothe. Conditions on the route can change seasonally, so it is a good idea to check the latest route information before setting out.

The route to Puy de Neuffont is a 15 km circular hike leading to the 964 m-high Puy. Unlike the GR®89, this route has a specified loop distance, while the hamlet of Malsaigne is the destination of the GR®89. The hiking options therefore differ in route format and destination.

Architectural History and Nature

The Église Saint-Martin in Bromont-Lamothe was built between 1866 and 1868 by diocesan architect Aymon-Gilbert Mallay. It is fully protected as a historic monument; the protection covers the entire building and the grounds. Its construction dates and architect make the church a specific cultural and historical point of interest alongside the area’s landscape and outdoor activities.

Pranal is a geological curiosity and a refuge for a unique gathering of bats. This adds natural history to the architectural and historical aspects of trip planning. If you are interested in geology or bats, Pranal offers a distinct point of interest.

Activities for Different Interests

Enola Sled Dogs offers sled dog activities in Bromont-Lamothe, including an introduction to driving a dog team. This adds a different kind of activity to the hiking options. If you plan to take part, confirm operating and booking details before your trip.

Pop Corn Labyrinthe is a seasonal family activity: the 90-minute course leads through a corn maze with large wooden games. Before your trip, check whether it will be open on your dates and which dates are available.

Plan d’Eau d’Anschald

At Plan d’Eau d’Anschald, swimming and fishing are separate options. The swimming area has a small beach. Accessible toilets and showers are located in the snack bar’s shared building. Fishing is also possible at Plan d’Eau. You can choose between the swimming area, with the facilities listed above, and fishing as another activity. Seasonal rules and facilities may change, so check their current status before your visit.
