Who we are...

With its firmly established roots in Rawdon, Quebec, where the first Arbraska park was created in 2002, our company has charted an extraordinary path through the years, one adventure at a time. With over 20 years of experience in designing, building, and operating adventure parks and ecotourism aerial attractions, we have evolved to become The Trekking Group.

Today, our company is divided into two specialized branches: the operation of adventure parks and the development of adventure and aerial attraction parks around the globe.

Aiming higher

Since our foundation, our passion for the outdoors, adventure, and environmental stewardship has driven us to create unforgettable moments for our visitors, whether they are adrenaline enthusiasts seeking thrills or simply looking for a family outdoor getaway. Our parks are designed to cater to all levels of adventurers and their diverse needs. We take pride in our history, our ongoing growth, and the tribe that gives meaning to our actions.

Join us on this endless adventure through the treetops and the exceptional natural landscapes that Canada and the United States have to offer.

Our mission is to design accessible, sensational, and transformative ecotourism adventures that promote outdoor physical activity while preserving harmony with nature.

Our Story Begins

The Arbraska story began in 2001, when Jean-Marie Bévillard arrived in Quebec from France. Shortly after his arrival, he enrolled in an entrepreneurial course taught by Stéphane Vachon in Montreal. During the course, Stéphane asked his students to prepare a business plan for a dream business that they would one day like to own.

Being from Grenoble, France, Jean-Marie immediately decided to make his business plan for a treetop adventure park, similar to one that was very successful back in Grenoble, knowing that nothing like this existed in Canada.

Impressed by the idea, Stéphane decided to partner up with Jean-Marie to make his dream a reality. The rest is history!
