Brief Historical of the park:

Since its creation in 1972 by Jean Sylvain, as an ecoforest interpretation centre, the park as been known for its vocation in forest education. In 1986, François-Guy Thivierge and L'Ascensation climbing school took over the development of climbing and the maintenance of the cabin of the Laurentian's climbing club at the Palissades. During the 1990, many organised groups and climbers cam to discover and practise climbing. In 2001, M. Thivierge organised the Climbing Festival of Charlevoix. That event allows the board of directors of the Palissades to realise the dynamic and expertise of the organisation. On June 12th 2003, L'Ascensation climbing school became the new administrator of the Palissades. From then on, the vocation changed from the ÉcoForest centre to the Mountain adventure park of the Palissades.
