SUMMER is the perfect season to connect with your inner Tarzan. Strap on your safety harness and start climbing, jumping and swinging more than seven storeys in the air on one of five high-flying adventure trails offered at Acrobranch Courses in the leafy forests of Mont-Tremblant, Que., about 1½ hours northwest of Montréal.

You can spend up to three hours in aerial bliss on 100 challenging activities, including shimmying through a series of hanging barrels, balancing on rope bridges or climbing rope walls, stepping across horizontal ladders and riding on flying snowboards. And if sailing through the branches on zip lines stretching more than half a kilometre doesn't sound exciting enough, you can also attempt the treetop courses in the dark. Night expeditions, illuminated by headlamps only, are available this spring for those seeking that additional hit of adrenalin.

Cost: $20 for children (1.05 metres tall, over 5 years old); $28 for juniors (1.4 metres tall, under 18 years old); $36 for adults. Group reservations are also available.
