Mont-Sainte-Anne boasts a vertical drop of 625 metres and a top-to-bottom expert section, so skiers can go bombing down the full drop in one go. And with everything from wide, impeccably maintained groomers to steep, narrow trails and tree runs for all levels, Mont-Sainte-Anne delivers a spectacular day of skiing that’s fun for everyone.

2Gorgeous Scenery
Mont-Sainte-Anne has three skiable faces, including one that looks out over the majestic St. Lawrence River, for skiing that’s breathtaking in more ways than one. Prepare to be dazzled by alternating views of the river, Île d’Orléans, Québec City, and endless mountain forests.

3Night Skiing and an Extended Season
Mont-Sainte-Anne is known for having a long ski season—sometimes until the end of April—and the vibe in the spring is fantastic. The hill is also known for its impressive vertical drop, which is the highest in Canada for night skiing.
Getting in those extra turns on lit slopes as the sun sets is sheer joy. And when it’s finally time to head in, Chouette Bar is right at the foot of the mountain and is the place to be for après-ski.

4A Top Family Destination with a Wide Range of Activities
The joys of winter at Mont-Sainte-Anne extend well beyond snowboarding and skiing. The hill also boasts snowshoeing and alpine touring and is home to one of the biggest cross-country ski areas in North America.
Dogsledding, and ice skating are also on offer right near the mountain. With all the fun things to see and do, it’s no wonder Mont-Sainte-Anne is such a big hit with families!
Mont-Sainte-Anne is an incredible, picture-perfect destination for a winter family vacation in the greater Québec City area. I recommend booking a longer stay to make the most of everything the destination has to offer.
