Given its abundant snowfall, Mont Sainte-Anne is the summit of wintertime fun in the Greater Quebec Area! People come from all over for the downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling. In fact, Mont Sainte-Anne has something to offer year-round: scenic canyons, mountain biking, parasailing and hang gliding, canyoning, mini-rafting, go karting, bike trails winding through the woods, hiking, horseback riding, bird watching, golfing and more. The Val-des-Neiges is at the crossroads between two very different regions, each 30 minutes from the hotel.

Going east means travelling to Charlevoix to see the awe-inspiring scenery featuring a seascape and impressive mountains, one of which is among the tallest peaks in Quebec: Le Massif de la Petite-Rivière.
