Nestled in the heart of a natural canyon, this beach offers unparalleled tranquility and a breathtaking setting.
Accessibility and technological innovation
One of the most impressive aspects of Trou de la Fée is its commitment to accessibility. Thanks to remarkable technological advances, even those with reduced mobility can fully enjoy this enchanting site. The Société Récréo-Touristique de Desbiens has implemented a revolutionary accessibility program, allowing visitors to discover the cave and the river in virtual reality with an Oculus headset. Whether you’re in a wheelchair or simply looking for a different experience, this option offers a unique and immersive perspective.
An experience for everyone
While adventure seekers explore the steep trails and descend into the cavern, others can relax on the viewing deck, enjoying stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Virtual reality allows everyone to experience the Trou de la Fée, regardless of their physical condition.
Immersive shows and unique attractions
In addition to outdoor activities, the Fairy Hole offers “Echo, the memory of stones”, an immersive show that is inclusive and accessible to all. Presented in a projection room carved from the granite of the Canadian Shield, this 360-degree multimedia show transports you through the major events that have marked this natural site since the Ice Age. With sound effects and projections directly on the rock, this unique experience in Quebec is a must-see.
A source of inspiration
Innovation and accessibility of Fairy Hole serve as a model for other tourist establishments. As Gerry Desmeules, General Director of the Société Récréo-Touristique de Desbiens, says: “We are thinking outside the box and we are differentiating ourselves from the other beneficiaries of the subsidy by exposing another aspect of accessibility. We hope to be an example for the creation of new innovative projects in the tourism industry in Quebec. »
