Laval is surprising

Rain or shine, come try bouldering at Crux Climbing Center or wall climbing with a self-belay system at Escalade Clip ’n climb. Or, for something a little out of the ordinary, embark on a wild adventure with Escaparium, Cube Secret or Immersia. Speaking of the latter attraction, note that it offers an outdoor game (Operation Sainte-Rose) exclusively during the summer months. You won’t want to miss it!
