It's not every day that you get aboard a carousel on a mountainside. The Mechanical Bird is a unique experience that will take you on an unforgettable journey through the mountain. Here are 4 tips to fully appreciate your first experience.
1. Dress warmly
Le Massif is a true natural paradise that offers magnificent landscapes to discover. However, even in summer, and especially in the late evening, the temperature in the mountains can be cool. Bring warm and waterproof clothing adapted to the outdoors to enjoy a memorable experience.
2. Put on the right footwear
During The Mechanical Bird, there is a short walk between the gondola and the Grande-Pointe Express lift at the base of the mountain. It is therefore essential to wear closed shoes adapted to the mountain to fully enjoy this magical experience in complete safety and comfort.
3. Bring insect repellent
It is possible that insects may join the show in spite of us. In order for them to bother you as little as possible, it is recommended to bring insect repellent. This will allow you to focus on the wonder and beauty of your experience.
4. Follow us on social media

5. Plan time to enjoy our surroundings
We suggest that you arrive early to enjoy a sunset dinner show from our restaurant Camp boule buvette de montagne (reservations recommended) or at the summit chalet, to take a stroll to the Buton lookout point located at the top of the mountain or better yet, to enjoy the activities offered onsite or in the surrounding area throughout the day until evening!
