Skiing in the highest ski area east of the Rockies

This friendly, authentic mountain is possibly Quebec’s best-kept secret! The Massif du Sud ski resort is the highest ski area east of the Rockies, and is a veritable snow sanctuary with truly abundant powder. And when we talk about abundance, we’re talking about 750 cm per winter, and even 915 cm in record-breaking seasons. Incredible!

This little paradise offers 35 trails for all levels. The undergrowth certainly steals the show here! Real glades! The runs in the Extreme sector are as technical as you could wish for, and their gradient sets them apart from anything you’ll find elsewhere in Quebec. Not just anyone can ski here!

Our favourite run? La Cachetière, which is reached after crossing the mythical « 5 », nicknamed the wall by regular skiers. You have to sweat a bit to get there… but the effort is rewarded with a descent on natural terrain where the trees are pretty close together. We love it!

For beginners and small families… the Massif du Sud resort also has runs for all levels and plenty of beautiful, more open glades that are simply perfect for beginners.

Whatever your style of descent, you’ll enjoy exceptional quality dry snow thanks to the mountain’s impressive altitude.
