Fantastic ski hill with good package deals and great people working there. Will definately make a return visit.
Breathtaking!????
I love
Excellent flow and trail types for cross-country mountain biking. Site maps, all levels, all types of trails. Hiking, trail running, and MTB!
Peace, house were really nice
An awesome weekend out on the slopes of Mont Sainte-Anne. We were with a 10+ person group varying ski abilities and everyone had a great time! The option to ski during the day and night was also quite unique so try to do both if you can! Another favourite part was the views from the top - especially on the run named La Crête. We will definitely be looking to return to Mont Sainte-Anne as a group in the future - the lines were never very long and skiing was quality despite no new fresh snow while there. The option to have an evening in Quebec City was perfect as well, at only 30 minutes away, it is definitely something you should consider!
Closed when on the website they marked open... drove 3h
Had an amazing time here. Hope to make this a regular vacation.
best mountain in the the Quebec city area. the top provides great views of river and the Orleans island.
Tool the kids skiing on the beginner slopes which was brilliant. Very friendly staff and we'll maintained.
Very nice mountain. Lots of slope and variety. The enchanted forest is so loved by the kids. The only drawback is the prices. The ski ticket is almost 100$ and the food is crazy expensive compared to any other ski resort.
In 1977, my uncle was on a skiing trip with his college, sadly as he was skiing he hit a tree. He had severed an artery in his leg Instead of helping his leg the rescue people scooped him up and took him down the mountain and on the way down he bled to death.
Bet skiing experience so far
Beautiful views although admission prices seem a little pricey ($15 adult).
Good spot at the top and well taken care of!
A variety of trails to choose from.
Great variety of terrain
Great scenic spot in the summer
Great winter ski resort
In Eastern Canada there are only a few mountains that are worth going for a ski week holiday. Mont Sainte Anne is one of them. Although conditions vary, they have good snow making and grooming of hills. South side hills are longer runs and offer plenty of diamond and double diamond runs. North side runs are shorter but offer great runs and often better conditions. Good lodges and lifts. Food services have possibly the cleanest commercial kitchens I have ever seen (and I used to work on the industry). Parking is very close and free. Took a lesson through the ski school a few years ago. Excellent match to an instructor and well worth taking. We'll organized during Covid to keep people safe. Friendly, professional staff everywhere.
Good little getaway place that's only a 40 minute drive from Laval.
Great hill, tons of slopes for all.
Great place to snowboard! Excellent natural snow, organised snowmaking, nice fast lifts and gondola. Terrain on trails is great for snowboarding. No slow parts means no need to stop, unstrap, and skate! Nice! Of course Quebec = Great food!
The snow quality is not worth the price of the ticket but the view is amazing
Great mountain. Something for everyone from bunny hills to double diamonds, this mountain will not disappoint. Will be back here soon.
#velirium was awesome!
Beautiful views. Slope 38 degrees. Longer runs on south side. Average 2km
Amazing runs... Great helpful staff... love it here
Simply beautiful
Great UCI World Cup venue. I wish I had the opportunity to bike it myself. Someday.
Snowboard the winters, downhill ride the summers.
The best Gondola ride I ever had. Should go there in winter to do some skiing.
This review is for the summer: perfect if you like a long, moderate hike. This hike is NOT easy, but it is also not hard. The entire trip will take approximately 3 hours at a regular pace. Views at the top make the whole thing worth it. For the best views, go around sunrise or sunset. You will get a view of Beaupré and even Quebec City far in the distance. The backside has mountains and forest as far as you can see.
I skied there for 3 days with my family. Enjoyed the whole mountain very much. Breathtaking views over the St. Lawrence River while skiing down from easy green to double diamond trails. Make sure you take a quick break at a mid mountain to get a maple syrup taffy on snow.
Definitely one of the better ski hills. Long trails with varying levels of difficulty and lifts which accommodate a good size. One of the lifts has a cover which is an added bonus for night skiing or when it's just windy and you want to cover up. Terrain trails are ok too. Both North side and South side of the mountain has good trails. Some are only accessible with a T-bar lift. Slopes are very good for all skiers. Weekday skiing is the best and lift lines aren't long or rather only a few people. Weekends can be a 10+ minute wait on major lifts.
Best ski in area
We love Mont Saint Anne! Great hill in general, with a good variety of runs for all levels. We were a family from 5 years old to 73 and everyone had an amazing time. We look forward to going back. If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of Mont Tremblant, then Mont Saint Anne is the place for you.
Good place for snow board n Sking.. Lot of people..
Great place great prices I hope to revisit
Has a wonderful park, freaking expensive entrance. No baby table on man's bathroom (it's 2021 come on). Music was good, but a bit louder for my taste.
This place makes me want to ski again! LOL Absolutely incredible options for accommodations.... From townhouse to condos to chalets..... A very welcoming, friendly place with incredibly beautiful views. Outdoor parking, indoor parking...Your choice... There were , thoughtfully and conveniently, Fondue sets in the condo so we just HAD to have a fondue party.... Or two????!!! Marvellous memories were made. We are forever impacted by our time there. Be prepared we are most definitely coming back! You have successfully wooed and won us over by Your magnificent loveliness and depth of character!!! Went back and enjoyed skiing these beautiful hills!!! A completely delightful experience yet again????????????
Nice ski slopes! Not for beginners at all. Very gorgeous views!!! Parking is free nearby, but must come early in order to be able to find a spot. There is plenty of things to do nearby as well: dog sledge, hiking trails! Also, there is a sugar shack in the middle of one of the slopes (cash only). There is food canteen on each side of the ski slopes.
Lots of awesome glades and runs of all difficulty levels. Snow conditions are generally pretty good.
Excellent service, rooms are comfortable, everything works as it should. Good beds very clean towels and bed sheets. Good heat in the room. Ski slopes are absolutely great. Staff nice and friendly. All in all a must visit place.
Great terrain. A bit too expensive.
Mountain biking to hiking on foot it's a marvelous place to be. Away from the stress of the town. On top, 800 meters, you can see all the mountains and lake, St Laurent River and old Quebec city.
Hiking: we went up by following a path in the forest that was steep (it was the only trail that was not on the ski slope) so we didn't want to go back on the same trail. We went down by the family ski slope but the grass made it dangerous as it was slippery due to rain the previous day. I did not enjoy my way back down.
Awesome view and experience. We bought ticket on Groupon for the gondola and we had a nice view on top of the Mont Sait-Anne! Bring a little wine and crackers and have a romantic view for cheap!
Beautiful mountain. Majestic views as you ski down of the St. Lawrence River. If you like some vertical this is your place.
Mont Sainte Anne lives up to expectations and is probably one of the most underrated ski resorts around. I visited Monte Sainte Anne in my early twenties, almost 30 years ago now. My daughter and I drove up (Jan. ‘22) for a father-daughter ski weekend together. Neither of us were disappointed. The snow is as good as I remembered it. The ski trails are numerous (71 day/19 evening) and vary from meandering green trails to double-black terrain, glade skiing, freestyle, moguls, etc. The view is spectacular, not a cloud in the sky either day. Our trip coincided with the latest Covid-19 (Omicron) lockdown so no waiting at the lifts. On top of that, Beaupré was a balmy -24°C on the weekend so, we had the mountain to ourselves (see pics) literally. We will be back!
We were very impressed at the really top-notch refurbishments. I've stayed in many hotels and I have to say that the room was one of the best ever. The service was good. The restaurant actually surprised me. The service was effecient and well coordinated and the food really surpassed my expectations. I wasn't expecting this. Being that it's summer, and this is predominantly a ski oriented destination, we have decided that we'll book a winter getaway here. It is a very picturesque location and we enjoyed hiking the ski hill. The pool was very welcomed after some intense hiking and it's very clean and well maintained. Thanks for a great mini-vacation. I'll recommend this hotel.
Great and affordable skiing/snowboarding and lessons. Large vertical drops and a great view of the river
Great place to take a gondola ride for scenic views of the St Lawrence river
Had a great time!! Plenty of trails!
Excellent ski school service. Thank you to Susanne (I hope I got your name right) I was so embarrassed I was on the mountain and took more time to get back and was late for pickup but she was there in the ski school watching my kid. Thanks to Matt too for teaching my kid to ski and making their trip by taking them to the top of the mountain and not just the bunny hill.
Great mountain.
The ski station is well preserved and, within the station up in the mountains, the indications are always up to date according to the temperature, making it always safe for beginners. Loved my journey there.
Very icy trails, extremely busy lineup for chairlifts taking over half an hour and very expensive lift tickets for a very average ski hill
Perfect. Not too busy, no wait times at the lifts. Decent food in the restobar.
Old ski pass system (not contactless ) that requires attaching ski passes to your jacket. Poor service. Hot chocolate was watered down. Coffe was watered down too. Hostile personnel. Good view. Nice trails. Le Massiff is better.
This is an amazing experience with lots of nice restaurants, boating, canoing biking, hiking and exploring St.Anne trails,
We spent 6 days cross country skiing and had a great time. It is a beautiful area for nordic skiing and the staff are friendly and helpful. There are lots of trails to choose from that range from expert to novice. The trails are well marked and groomed. The lodge has lots of room to wax your skies, relax by the fireplace and enjoy your lunch. There is also a small restaurant on site, and a well stocked sports store that allows rents skies, snowshoes and fat tire bikes.
Fall colors are AMAZING!
nice place to ski
Absolute best hill in Quebec for value, terrain. Have been coming here for well over twenty years and it just keeps getting better with lifts, new terrain. Never crowded it's a great place to spend a week. The gondola provides awesome access to top to bottom night skiing.
Great mountain biking. Good food in the Chateau bar. Rooms are modern and comfortable. Good bilingual service.
Love skiing - visit
Super nice Hill. It's probably the best place to go ski in Quebec. I actually snowboard, and they have a lot of cool things for snowboarding people, like rails and bubble chair lifts.
Great atmosphere, skied 3 days and the conditions were pretty good for the amount of people there. Would definitely reccomend for a getaway.
A skier's paradise. So many trails to choose from -- and the chairlifts don't have anywhere near the waits you encounter at similar-sized Quebec mountains, such as Tremblant. You can't really ask for more from a place like this: this is a hill you'll keep on wanting to come back to.
With the gondola not working, the "high speed" quad chair should be running at full speed and it was going half speed!
Terrific place.
Loved it!
Mt. Saint-Anne has a really nice variety of runs complemented by a number of fast lifts. The vertical is also quite good. Runs are not "short" but the lines are very short compared to other similar ski resorts in Quebec like Mont Tremblant and Bromont. Also, it's more northern location usually guarantees ski-able conditions all winter. Excellent value all-around.
Efficient lifts & nicely maintained piste. Well laid out main building with cafeteria serving burgers, sandwiches and soup. The ski hire is also good value and service is friendly.
stayed here on a school field trip in the spring room had kitchen, fridge and sink they let us roast marshmallows in the fireplace in the foyer and play the grand piano
Great ski resort. Tons of terrain and not too busy.
Very good ski place and and not so clouded like Tremblant.
Great area with amazing places to hike! Wish there were a few more good restaurants and shops.
Great mountain biking! Unfortunately the trails were sometimes mislabeled with the wrong number and various other issues made it tough to always hit the exact trails we we're looking for. We rented bikes from the place at base of the hill and you'll probably want to skip the single suspensions and pay more for double suspension if you are hitting the red skill level trails. We took the hard tails on them and really had to concentrate on picking the proper lines as it had been 15 years since I had ridden hardtail. Was not aware there were bears in this part of Quebec (they are everywhere in the Rockies) so bring bear spray if you can. Luckily no encounters for us on this trip.
Enjoy being there n the peace makes u happy
A good ski hill, offers a variety on runs.
I stayed here with a group for five days while we explored the old city. I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!
rodeo mont ste anne. really nice! near to quebec city
It's a mountain, it's nice. Winter, summer or anytime in between, you'll have a good time. You can climb or you can slide, But if you're not careful, you're gonna die.
Awesome ski spot! :)
I grew up on its slopes. It's a great place!
A great hill from beginner to experienced everyone is happy
Great mountain!!! Awesome snow conditions!
Better terrain than Tremblant without the crowds! Lots of good tree skiing between runs for those who like that sort of thing
My family and I enjoyed a week at the resort. Variety of tracks that are great for kids learning to ride. Very friendly staff. Special thanks to snowmobile operator who was taking people to gandola. Our kids were excited and thankful for such an experience.
Beautiful Resort . Very Good Price. Decent Location.
We didn't let the cold weather stop us, and neither should you. This amazing resort has a variety of trails and even a maple snack.. Seriously give one good reason why you shouldn't go!!
Great views!
Great place!!!
Good tracks. Can find local instructors easily. Numerous restaurants.
Good trekking experience. More signs are needed on the trails to make the journey more effective.
Fantastic Mountain & Facilities! Loved it!
Superb, love the vibe, atmosphere (literally clean air) and friendly people)
I rented a Downhill mountain bike and rode the trails for a few hours and had a blast. The DH MTB trails are pretty technical and have large loose rocks strewn everywhere, but they were fun. I got a pinch flat on one run and the derailleur hanger broke on the second run (both without crashing or noticing where it happened), but the shop was able to fix them both quickly and get me back on the trails.
Best backyard ever!
Very large hill with runs for people of all skill levels. Great fluffy snow and very nice and modern hotel. Most of the staff only speak French though so that can be a little bit of a problem sometimes but everything is great otherwise
Very busy and not much room to go play due to gouvernement sanitary mesures have to reserve on-line.
Breathtaking views, amazing trails. A good place to spend actively day.
Really great slope and mountain has a good height!
A good place to visit
Great gondola and lots of varied terrain!
Great for families and groups of all sizes. Friendly service and ski activities for all.
We visited today, took the gondola up to the peak. Stunning views from the top. There's a little tower you can climb to see 360 degree views. It was fascinating to see a ski resort in the middle of summer. Definitely worth the ticket prices to go up the gondola. I think you can hike up and down the mountain too which would be a great experience.
An great ski hill, a variety of runs for every skill level with stunning views.
Amazing family friendly resort. You can ski down any side of the mountain imaginable.
They really should lower their price. Like this winter at the beginning of the season they had one slope, their price for that slope was 50$. They also have less open dates than Stoneham.
Great mountain!! Sadly, only one chair lift that goes up.... RCR had since last february to repair it and nothing has changed. It’s sad to see that RCR doesn’t care as much about Mont Saint-Anne as before Massif de Charlevoix is way better this time of year. Lots of snow and caring owners that actually care about the mountain.
Really great mountain and hills, really fun vacation location.
Nice trails beautiful hotel with lots of amnesties
Great ski center. Wide variety of runs. Great views. Fast lifts.
Great skiiing not long wakt times fast lifts reallly nice got buetifull views love it
Mont-Sainte-Anne offers great skiing on the east coast, most of the time it has great groomed trails with the occasional icy day but with that in mind a great place to learn new skills or continue expanding you ski/snowboard skills.
Fabulous mountain great terrain for all levels
The skiing was wonderful. The lodge with food and beverage was pretty dated. We spent a ton, but that’s to be expected for a day of skiing. Overall, we really enjoyed it.
Beautiful room and great service
Came here for night skiing on a Sunday and it was awesome. They had a good selection of lit night runs to choose from. Both the Gondola and a chair lift were open at night. They slowly groomed all the trails throughout the evening so we had fresh paths every time. The staff was super friendly at the lifts too. Superb value for money considering there was never any lines for the lifts and we had a great experience. Will definitely be returning.
Great if you like skiing even better if you like the spa
Good skiing, but very expensive.
Nice looking hills, we came late so everything was closed. There is a small playground for kids on the base and some nice outdoor sitting areas. More quiet than I expected it to be. There are some trail bikers washing their bikes of in the bike wash area.
It's a nice trail in autumn with nice views. But it's designed for skiing and it feels a lot less nice than actual trecking in the forest, because the trail is very wide
Great for a mountain bike trip. Gondola is super quick and easy, though thoughtless people will put their feet on the seats and get mud everywhere. Never had to line up long for the lift. There are no really basic tracks here for beginners off the lift. All tracks require a measure of skill and a decent bike with quality brakes. Blue tracks are still challenging in places, being bumpy and rocky in spots. Mud makes it harder, as well as brake bumps left by beginners. The red course Vietnam is amazing, but Purdue may as well be black. The other black courses are extremely challenging. Especially with mud - incredibly technical and not many large park features. Rock drops and wet tree roots are everywhere. I didn't try the WC DH course as I didn't want to die. The Cross Country tracks are extensive and amazing also.
I have never been to a ski hill that is so badly organized. The parking situation is deplorable, it took more than 1hour to get into the parking lot and on a shuttle bus to the entrance. Everything funnels through one lane, pick up area is unmarked ans it turns into a free for all very quickly. Extremely unpleasant experience. This place has been open for years and its unacceptable that is such a disaster especially since its more than $80 for a full day ticket.
Nice skiing, high altitude and good views...sometimes snow is not so well groomed compared to other resorts
Great mountain with a wide variety of trails. The restaurant is quite pricey, so this place isn't for the poor.
Lots of trails for every ability. The back side, north side, has a detachable quad. The north side has mostly intermediate terrain with some good intermediate woods. The best black diamond trail, La Crete, is on the South side. It has great views and is one of the easier black diamond trails. The gondola, L Etoile Filante, fits eight people and is a quick trip from the base to the summit. Lots of challenging woods all over the mountain and many woods trails are cleared and not marked on the trail map. Keep on the lookout for them.
Great getaway. Very scenic and relaxing.
Super runs with variety and degrees of difficulty. Great place to improve ones ability. Awesome staff with very informative instructors. Throughly enjoyed my experience at Monte Ste Anne. Sincerely George Klassen.
It’s ok for the region, but a bit commercial for my liking.
Absolutely amazing! Quality, price everything is 5 star
Nothing special. Was nice. Service was great.
Wonderful blue rated glade runs perfect for snowboarders
Great for mountain bike enthusiast
One of the best mountains in Quebec, great slopes that are never crowded.
Definitely would come back again! Such a beautiful place!
I could say a lot about Mont Sainte-Anne, I skied here for 6 weeks in 2020. Every year I travel to a new hill to ski with my wife and daughter for an extended period of time. We really get to know the places we ski. We have skied from Quebec hills to BC hills. My honest advice if your reading this review is this is not a hill for tourists. This is a hill designed to cater to the locals, don’t make this a travel destination. Why? Firstly we purchase season passes every hill we go to, mont Sainte Anne was $1100 per adult our daughter was $20. At this price you expect a world class resort. 1- Not all the lifts run during the week, so you have only one way to the summit and that’s by the gondola. (This gondola also had a major malfunction and nearly killed people, 12 people were hospitalized, thankfully we were not on it when it happened) 2- There isn’t a lot of choices to eat at the mountain, you basically have there own chalet that offers meals. So no selection. 3- Very few events happen at the hill, never seems to be anything going on. The employees are friendly but the mountain seems to be poorly run, doesn’t feel like any money is put back into the mountain. For the price you pay to ski you expect more and unfortunately it disappoints. If your looking for a fun vibrant hill, Tremblant is still the winner, don’t waste your time and money here, because management doesn’t care about your experience. Again they can do this because it’s close to Quebec City and people don’t have many choices. But as a tourist resort, it’s a huge disappointment.
Awesome place for ski or snoboarding, much less people than mont tremblant, a bit cheaper, they have night skiing unlike mont tremblant and vertical drop is even higher!
The Hill and the lifts are worth it. The chalet and accommodations really suck.
Visited during summer months. Went up the gondola and looked around. Beautiful scenery.
Fantastic resort, the nicest in all Québec province in my opinion. Great for both novice and expert skiers/riders, with a breathtaking view of the Saint-Lawrence river. I would recommend to ski anywhere but the gondola from 10am-noon to skip crowds and enjoy more of the resort. La Crête is a must for any advanced skiers (with some cool glades along the way, too).
Amazing mountain, it has a lot of great tracks. There is not a lot of variety amongst them however compared to other mountains in Quebec and compared to the massif de charlevoix.
Had a blast, best riding in a long time
Excellent place to go and ski
Amazing hiking trails ranging from moderate difficulty to pretty steep. Only 16$ daily pass for a family, overall well worth it.
This place has a lot to offer for ski. Multiple ski trails for everyone at any level. Almost no wait at the chairlifts and friendly staff.
The condo was great, the staff are very friendly and helpful, the skiing first rate, cafeteria food is expensive.
Wished the gondola was open
Beautiful and relaxing place.
Expensive and totally not worth it. Very icy slopes, grooming is terrible. Drive 20 min more and get to the massif for a better experience...
Nice mountain with a good variety of slopes for all levels! Weekdays are the best to visit: short waiting lines for the chairlifts. I’d advise against going between 9am-12pm on weekends as lines are quite long at all chairlifts. Also, if you buy your tickets through Ma Neige, the tickets can’t be scanned through the “online tickets” scanner. Overall good experience and will visit again.
My husband, some friends, and I came here on our annual snowboard trip in February. The conditions were horrible, it was just sheet ice. We managed a couple runs before deciding that was enough. We went in hoping to maybe get some of our money back, but the gave us a COMPLETE refund. I was blown away, I didn't expect them to be that courteous. I would 100% go back again when the conditions are better.
Skiing!!!
Amazing skiing. Place odds empty. No lift lines
5 stars to activities and view but 3 stars only for the buildings especially both cafeteria which serves so so food in a run down setting.
Such a great family mountain. Ski school instructors were very good with our kids. The mountain itself has a wide variety of terrain. The sugar shack is such a fun treat for the kids when skiing in Spring!
Excellent. World class ski resort.
Nice long runs on the south side with shorter by steeper runs on the north side. There are signs indicating moguls which is good for snowboarders who want to avoid those runs. I went on a Sunday and on a Tuesday, where there were less people, so the lift lines, gondola lines and overall the runs had less people. Would definitely come back.
Very icy.. limited grooming, long lift lines
Geat bike park
One of the best ski resorts in Quebec. Ski experience is very close from what you get in French Alps. The scenery is incredibly beautiful. A bit pricey though
Wow. Many challenging trails. Great mountain.
Such a great mountain, it could use a lot of love. An investment needs to be done to improve the downhill skiing facilities, the prices are ridiculous for what you get. I also think they should add more backcountry skiing trails and sections (even if that means upping the price).
Awesome experience. Great conditions
Great place to ski, and not too busy
Great place to ski. Fun and affordable. The ski school is great
Very nice ski resort
Beautiful hill
We were at Mont Saint-Anne for mountain biking. The map was a bit out of date so we were a little confused, but the trails were amazing. Trail 51, not on our map, was just unbelievable.
Small resort, but fun rides!
Great hill, there is a T-bar that goes from bottom to peak. Sugar Shack halfway down the hill! You can ski both sides of the hill as well
Love spending a couple days here when I can. Great place to ski and not far from the city where there’s lots to do all year round
Lines are long, gondolas are slow… Sadly this mountain is not taken care of like it should. It is beautiful to hike and to ski, but customer service has some issues and their technical system is also a failure. We really hope things change sooner rather than later and that MSA comes back to life like Tremblant or the Massif, otherwise it will perish.
The best mountain in Quebec city!
Nice skiing but nothing else to do
Beautiful, nice for hiking, refreshing waterfall
Awesome camping and Great trails.
Excellent experience. Lift lines were not that bad.
Worth visiting once to see the beauty of nature 360 from top
Wow this mountain is so much fun..
Love the big wide open runs, continual fall lines, and the night skiing!
First and foremost, this is a *real* ski resort, with challenging and fun runs for skiers of all levels. La Crete, for instance, is an amazing black diamond run, with fantastic views of the St. Lawrence River. The lifts are modern and fast. I started in the Chalets, which are very convenient for families, with lots of space, multiple bathrooms, and easy access to the slopes. Pro tip: rent a car. A taxi from YQB will set you back CAD 100, and in any event you really need to drive to go to grocery stores or most restaurants.
Love this hill. Pack food though. Summit chalet is closed a lot and both base chalets are ridiculously expensive; almost $5 for a juice or water
Well organized. Great gondola system and lifts. Nice wide trails
Lots of runs from begginers to pro. Great condition. Also skiicentric resort so some runs are harder to get through with snowboards.
If you visit and if you don't visit this place...then your tour is only 25% done. You must have to come back again. Heaven for mountain lovers and for mountain bikers also.
One of my fave spots for snowboarding on the east coast. Not as busy as spots closer to MTL, and loads to do off mountain. Summertime is still pretty bumpkin’, with extensive hiking and mountain biking trails throughout. Hit up Quebec City within an hour, Beaupré is just 10min drive and has all the essentials.
Great place to ski with family
Just great ski! Loved it!
Great conditions this morning.
I've been coming here since 2007 annually with a group of High School kids from Vermont. This place never disappoints. I love skiing here. There are trails for everyone! The staff is super helpful! I enjoy being able to ski up and down to the Chalets we stay at.
Nice ski resort in Quebec.
Nice mountain but a little pricy for a one day pass, same for the food
Some of the best eastern skiing!
There is an incredible dog sledding dog kennel. Staff was super friendly and let us pet the dogs.
I really enjoy the mountain, the tracks are big, good service and not so far from Québec. You can pay the pass to the whole season for a fair price but put in mind that they close all black tracks after 4pm. But totally worth anyway.
Great family location! Lots of varied runs. Great rates and very close to Quebec City!! A must ski for anyone in the east.
Used to love going there... But very desapointed by the fact thr the station closed SUPER early... Drove 4h for nothing... What a shame!
Love this hill! Lines are too long: I guess others do too.
Great mountain with lots of fun trails for all levels.
By far top 3 best ski hills in Quebec province.
Runs are long, and the view of the river is beautiful.
Small resort compared to what I'm used to but I loved the night skiing.
Love this place, I'd say best ski experience in the area
One of the best mountains on the east coast! Plenty of fun to be had!
Great place good food Clean good service
Gorgeous place for winter activities!
This was my first mountain, she treated me nicely as I learned to snowboard 5 years ago and has since kept me coming back for more each year. The 3hr drive from Montreal is well worth it if you can stay there for a night or two. Has gondolas to keep you warm on ur way go the summit, great views from the top.
Mont-Sainte-Anne is a ski resort area located in the town of Beaupré, Quebec, about 40 km (25 mi) northeast of Quebec City. The mountain is part of the Laurentian mountain chain and has a summit elevation of 800 m (2,625 ft) above sea level with a vertical drop of 625 m (2,051 ft). Cable car is available for general public to see top, viewing mountain range or Lawrence river. summer and winter both season are usually busy but due to pendemic main cable ???? car is not working. but if someone could hike for 15 minutes then he can get a chairlift for one way For day skiing, there are 71 available downhill ski trails covering 71 km (44 mi) the southern, northern and western sides of the mountain. For night skiing, there are 19 trails covering 15.2 km (9.4 mi) the southern part of the mountain only.It is the highest vertical for night skiing in Canada. The average natural snowfall at the summit is 475 cm (187 in) Forr biggners/kids skiers they also have training camp on site as well.
One of the most beautiful places to visit in Quebec
I can't say enough to express how much we enjoyed our week skiing Mont Sainte Anne. With two young children age 7 and 5 we were a little nervous on how they would do on a mountain this size but we very pleasantly surprised at how we were all able to enjoy the mountain. There are trails for every skill level and the runs are quite long. We all enjoyed every second on the slopes. The children loved the enchanted forest and the rigolo. A must do with your young ones. You will understand the enchanted part once you start the run. Look for the activities and hidden surprises as you ski through the trees. With 4 lifts running all day you aren't waiting long before you are back at the top and ready to hit your next run. Beautiful views on both sides of the mountain and a look out tower on the summit for amazing photo opportunities. The staff are amazing and a great source of knowledge to help you choose the best runs for you and the family. The resort has two cafeterias, a pub, a warming hut serving snacks and warm beverages, a candy shop and even has a Sugar Bush part way down a trail to stop and enjoy some maple treats before heading for the bottom. They even had bouncy castles set up one day for the little ones to enjoy. They offer a daycare service, ski schools, clinics and private lessons. There is also a free style course for the adventurous tricksters. Mogul runs and backcountry style runs. This resort really does have it all. They have ski in/ski out accomodations available as well but book well in advance as they fill up quickly. Before booking your trip contact central booking to take advantage of any and all deals being offered at the time of your visit. We will definitely be back to this resort next season.
Very nice hotel with good service
Great snow tonight .
Great ski resort with a variety of runs for all abilities. Quite pricey though but then so are most ski resorts! Would recommend getting there early on weekends/holidays so you don't end up having to park miles away.
beautiful place with a stunning view. A little expensive if you want to go skiing/snowboarding
Good for all levels of skiing or snowboarding. Snow biking, cross country skiing or just hiking
Loved it will go back
Mont Ste-Anne is the largest ski resort in Quebec with over 40 runs. It's now a 12 months resort with a World mountain bike competition every year. They also have several hundred kilometers or cross country ski trails. There are activities for everyone b
Nice place to spend a couple of hours. Nice views a little bit of hiking.
Nice variety of trails, though the Chemin du Roi should be tried for treason. Very, very flat. Also, the summit has flat areas, so if you are moving from one side to the other (e.g. from the gondola to La Crête), plan accordingly. Otherwise, delightful and it's nice to have trails covering all sides of the mountain.
I’ve been coming here to ski for years on end with my family every March break, and I must say it’s one of my favorite mountains in Quebec. There is such a wide variety of trails to choose from, and there is even a whole side of the mountain dedicated to advanced gears which tends to weed out the beginners.
Love skiing at Mt St Anne! It's rarely busy and plenty of hills for all levels!
Great jogging trails in the summer.
Overall pretty good resort, on days the line-up is reasonable you can get a lot of skiing under your belt. Mask in open air lines is optional. Tracks are mostly well maintained. Facilities are good too.
Great place to ski. Nice resort and modern amenities, good place for family ski trips while in the Quebec area. Lots of trails to challenge any level of skier and for beginners to learn. This mountain is synonymous with Quebec City. Must ski destination while in town
For a mountain bike resort with an international reputation the resort of Mont Saint-Anne is a disgrace. The facilities are non-existent and the trails have not had attention for what looks like decades. The signage is terrible, with small writing on boards that are hard to see and arrows that serve no purpose from a distance. We met a poor chap who was weekending from Ireland who got lost then when he got to the bottom there was nowhere to buy something to eat and drink. Come on guys; this place could be the Whistler of the East but instead you're running a bare bones operation and wringing cash from bikers.
Beautiful view
Mont Saint Anne is pretty easy to access from Quebec City and has spectacular views of the St Lawrence. Tickets can be purchased in advance on your phone and quickly presented to the front desk to exchange for your pass, painless! Kids under 6 ski free, woohoo! The mountain offers both on-site and off-site lodging options to keep things affordable which is also nice. The main lift has 'bubble chairs' where after your safety bar pulls down there's an additional device that fully protects you from the elements on your way up - and given that is one of the longest chairs up it's actually quite nice as you don't feel the cold at all! I will note some of the 'bubbles' are a little hazy (no longer see through) and harder to see through, if at all. There are several 'glades' (with trees) runs, starting from a beginner style with a very mild slope for introductory skiers that still want to experience more intermediate style slope. 'La familiale' is also a super fun green circle run that stretches a good distance and has amazing views of the river on the way down. Note that this run can present some challenges for introductory skiers and boarders that can't keep enough pace through some of the flats, but it's a good way to learn how to keep your pace / speed down a hill. The back side of the mountain is also a lot of fun, the only downside would be the super slow chair to get to the peak of the mountain which takes you to the backside. I actually hadn't visited this mountain since I was a child and just managed to get back there for a day and had a complete blast, there was a perfect introductory area at the base Lodge where kids and new skiers and snowboarders can also learn. Thanks Mont Saint Anne for the memories!! JD
It was amazing. Will definitely go again
I would recommend bringing your own food, as the food here is not great. The runs are very well groomed, and I've yet to catch an edge. The snow park is chock full of features, but there is a pronounced lack of decently sized jumps. I visited this year in early April, and about half the runs were still open, mostly on the north side of the mountain.
Love this place - not too big, friendly, great hills.
One of the best hills in Quebec! Large amount of runs with a wide variety of challenges. Majestic views.
Had an amazing time during Christmas break. You can rent pretty much everything there, including snowboard, ski, clothes and boot. There's also a place to heat your own food (buying food there is very expensive).
Off season for us but very respectful.
Beautiful!!!!!!!!
Do not climb the mountains with Vans.
The mointain gets very windy - creating icy conditions very often. Caution is advised.
Very nice place to visis for vacations
stairs are closed.
Best place to snowboard in Quebec, hands down!
Great mountain!
You can find me on Crete every New Year's Eve Day,, ready to ring in the new year. We travel from Boston to ski here!
Great ski place in winter and hiking places all years around!!
Lots of runs, none that really stand out, but all pretty good.
Amazing ski station
We go every year for the DH world cup race. It's got something for everyone! Beautiful views, hikes, whatever you're into.
Great ski trip at Mont Saint Anne !
Quiet unobtrusive service. Nice, modern and well equipped and maintained rooms.
Not the best but definitely a good experience. Loved the architecture and scenery.
Had an amazing family ski trip for March Break. Weather was fantastic, trail grooming was superb. Staff and fellow skiers were great. This hill had a great mix of family friendly and challenging runs. A good mix for the 9 skiers in our group. Plans have already begun for next year ????
Very good mountain for the east coast of Canada. Has good amount of runs on both the north and south facing sides of the mountains. A terrain park can be found at the base accessible by magic carpet and another on the top south side. Their are a couple of shops at the base aswell as a tune shop, a cafeteria and a bar. Good mountain for all ages and level.
Very nice assortment of runs on both sides, great atmosphere, good restaurants and the town is very close (convenient). Had a very nice time skiing here for a few days and would do it again.
Within 30 min of Quebec City, this is a great hill to enjoy a full day, or many days of skiing. Terrain from beginners to off piste advanced, we really had a fin time
A wonderful destination for just about anyone and everyone.
Well groomed slopes on this interesting mountain. Stayed onsite and found plenty of slopes to keep us entertained for three days. Only downside is the lack of dining and drinking options in the evening - we ended up driving to Quebec City each night for dinner.
Absolutely awesome. Especially night skiing. Been there many times and I always want to go back. Also great if you stay in Quebec City and just drive to the slopes. It's only a half hour drive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Can't wait for the gondola to be open again for DH. Very excited :)
Great skiing and cheap snowboard lessons. Also great hill and a good cafeteria
Rates available for Full day Pm Night skiing Rentals are also similar. Lessons are very expensive. There are many great runs with a wide spread of difficulty levels. Good for beginners as well as advance riders.
Awesome as always. Great layout. Nice and helpful staff. Bravo!
Bike, hike, ski #awesome
The best ski hill in the East. Massif has a better view but Ste Anne trails are fantastic bdor one that love muggles!
The best hills for family east of the Roomies!
I love Mont Saint-Anne. My friends and I try and visit every year just after New Year's. The mountain has always been great even though the weather hasn't. It has great runs, great views, and the chairlifts and gondolas are quick and have protection from the wind.
Very nice mountain. My friend hit 88km/h on his way down. LOTS of trails and a variety of types as well. Lots of fun.
So many runs to try :) quick easy trip from Quebec City!
For a good hike and a nice picnic on top of the mountain
Mountain is BEAUTIFULL but damn !! it's for rich people !!!!!!!!
Great, small, ski resort close to Quebec City. Not a huge range of pistes, but good for a few days.
A great ski resort, many trails divided into 3 sections, 1 gondola and 3 detachble-quad. Be aware that the ski resort doesn't have great snow mantaince, it won't be a good place visit in March.
We had about 20cm of fresh powder which made it really fun and exhausting. The enchanting Forest is a really nice touch. Wish more hills had easy blue glades to ski.
Strongly recommend, unbelievable views
Great hill worth the drive from Bolton
Great staff and great skiing. A little bit of everything for all skill levels. Would highly recommend!
Great facility - good grooming - awesome staff. Well organized
It was a long walk to the top but it was fun
Best skiing ever with panoramic view of St. Laurent River. I recommend you to visit here even if you are not a skier. You can enjoy the wonderful view at the summit.
We stayed in the hotel and our room was very old and dirty. Hasn’t been updated since it opened. Family of 5 and only had dishes for 2 people, ask for more and they brought one more of each dish. Make sure you bring pots and pans as well cause our unit didn’t have enough to cook. Didn’t have plugs for the sink to do dishes. Didn’t have oven mitts and many other items. We were very disappointed in our stay here. Make sure to ask for an updated room if you decide to stay here.
Great infrastructure and staff!!
Amazing ski resort.
Great place to learn Sky.
Nice mountain
Best skiing in years - lots of variety and for different skills. Was great as Quebec March break was week earlier so place was essentially empty - no lines
Wonderful place, recommend to everyone.
The skiing was nice and the views were spectacular. Staff were always helpful and courteous even though we did not speak French. Many lifts do not run during the work week so you are restricted to the two main chairs and gondola. We skied three of the 6 nights we visited. We enjoyed the fact that they groomed runs one at a time for night skiing enjoyment. Only the Gondola and La Tormente (covered chair outside main chalet) runs at night. However, we found the La Tormente closed despite signage at the Gondola stating it was open. Also, the Gondola appeared to run noticeably slower at night time for some reason. 18 min from bottom to top as appose to the daytime of around 7 min.
Gorgeous mountain, wonderful chalet!
We went I July so no skiing just hiking. Had beautiful sights and a couple water falls across the road Wich are breath taking.
Great mountain with a beautiful view on the river!
Great day of ???? skiing! I haven't been here in a few years, they have made some improvements and this place is awesome !! Long steep runs, short or no lift lines, smiling people all around !! Love it !
Great mountain. If only it were closer to Montreal
Great ski resort
Able to see the falls 360...interesting way to view
Great day skiing!
Cute place with fireplace and kitchen but furnishings old
Great for Eastern Canada skiing
Best skiing in quebec
Nice chalet and mountain! Some of the harder glades are found here
Great day on the slopes
A great mountain for beginners and expert skiers alike especially if there is a mixture of levels in the same group/family.
One of the great Canadian ski hills
Find but the last set of stairs is 187 steps down to instantly come back up
Amazing conditions!!
Good choice of hills. Nice view of the river on the south side.
Played an interesting round of golf. A person definitely needs to practice course management.
Well laid out, great runs for all abilities.
Amazing ski slopes and great infrastructure. Focus on skiing , particularly for beginners and intermediate level skiers. Proximity to Québec city and convenient on slope hotels makes it a nice place to take a ski break
I don't know, I just love this place. It is frequently cold, it is icy, I've experienced lift malfinctions when we were brought down using ropes. And I still love it. I dinged one star because it seems that they are not investing much and the level of service is slowly declining.
Just like the place and surrounding. A good place to for relaxation during the Autumn. Very colourful.
great place for a quick run. 30 mins away from Quebec city.
Quick lifts, lots of places to explore and nice long runs.
The view over the Saint Lawrence river is specatular going up in the gondola. Its an expensive sport with lift tickets now over 100$, buying an expensive lunch, gas to get there and rental fees can add up quickly. This is a rich mans sport. I only ski once per year, so I skied the easy runs and they were really great.
Beautiful ski park many trails, worldwide ski resort
Excellent ski resort. A1 grooming. No long wait at lifts. Friday Feb. 19 ... Very nice temperature.
Nice snow, nice people, very good service. Very kid friendly.
The day we skied at Mont Saint-Anne the conditions were amazing. Beautiful weather made for great runs. The staff are very courteous and helpful. We were blown away with the mountain!
Lots of fun. Nice trails. The staff from Ecole de Ski was súper profesional. Happy people all around.
The hill was a great experience a lot of different terrain to challenge your self on, the biggest down side was the lack or apres ski, all of the restaurants seemed to close very close to the hill closing time. If they worked on that it would be a five star resort for sure
Loved this resort at bottom of mountain...the nearby restaurants are nearby and are great.
Very good customer relations. Every employee on the hill had a smile and all were very enthusiastic. Many runs available, from babes (the little ones) to multi black diamond. We did the south side...beautiful sunny day. Runs well groomed. Green runs perfect for this noob and "La Familiale" was very long. This was day 1 of a 2 day minivac.
Great place! The ski resort staff is super friendly, there are nice restaurants as well as coffee shops and of course the ski chalet snack bars. There is a nice drop in daycare for kids as well as ski school and several learners slopes with a magic carpet. Great for kids as well as adults. The ski slopes are very nice, a lot of variety. The enchanted forest is great fun, definitely worth trying!
Road trip to Quebec city, hit this mountain for a day. Awesome time and good trials. Wont be disappointed!
Great ski resort.
Amazing skiing and lodging.
It is a ski/board Mountain. 40 minute ride from Old Quebec. The mountain village is quite limited compared to other mountains such as Jackson Hole, Breckenridge, Stratton, Okemo, or Killington. However, this was made up for by excellent snow conditions. No ice anywhere on the mountain. Glades, though tracked out, were still fun as it didn't feel like an ice hockey rink. If you are looky for partying, this is not the mountain. If you are looking for quality ski/board experience this is a really good mountain.
Best mountain in Quebec
Fantastic skiing and great view on the St Lawrence River !
Awesome resort. Love it there
Great 3 day! Helpful friendly bilegual staff. I rented full equipment and lift pass for the 3 "days" came to total of just under $500 CAD. Food and beverage higher on site but pay for convenience. Fun mountain experience at top of hill from gondola. Found out at end though that night ski not included in packages price. Overall injoyable and had to stop a lot to take in views.
Tree skiing in knee deep powder. Awesome.
There are many beautiful views of the St. Lawrence river. Lots of different ski runs to suit all. Sometimes very slow getting up the mountain, especially if the gondola is not working. They need another chair lift on the Southside.
Stayed at the chalet. Very cozy and warm. Has a cottage like feel and is close to the ski resort. There are grocery stores near by. The chalet had everything you need to cook and linen were clean. Recommend it.
Always a fun time every year.
Great place to ski!!!
Best ski close to Quebec city
Special places Very very nice
Not as good as Massif de Charlevoix. Runs are short for the mountain's elevation, and the chairlifts & gondola are rather old and slow.
Visited for biking: rode in the rain, shattered my freehub internals, and nearly crashed several times in all of two laps. I'm not a noob by any means but damn this place is gnarly. Need to come back and ride it again!
Staying here for a conference. Great hotel and amenities. We fle into Quebec City and rented a car. Easy to find. Hotel service is amazing and so is the food.
Great place! Would reccomend!
Beautiful place to visit and spend the day
I had a lovely ski vacation at Mont Sainte anne
Awesome hill. Had such fun there. Runs are long so less time on the lift.
Lots to explore with many runs and a good variety of terrain. Can get a little crowded and icy. Night skiing is always a good option. Nice views.
We had booked our campsite over 6 months in advance and when we got there there was someone else in our spot. They said it was a problem with their system but made no effort to compensate us for their mistake. Instead they put us at the worst possible campsite (right next to the bathrooms), where we got a bright white light shinning over our tent all night long - not what you're looking for when camping. When we went to get our XCO passes we found out that even though we had booked 3 family passes their system had charged us for 3 single people passes. We are definitely not staying there again. Do not book online through their website as their system is clearly messed up. Great XCO trails, though. I recommend staying somewhere else and buying the XCO passes when you get there.
Great ski hill without pretencius vibes.
Staff seemed to busy to accurately and fully explain certain aspects and conditions of use. Whenever the phone rings, forget about getting your issues dealt with and resolved.
March 12, decided to ski at Mt. St. Anne after roughly 30 years since my last outing at Mt. St. Anne, and it will be another 30 years until I go again. I was having high expectation of experiencing one of Quebec's ultimate skiing destination. The gondola was closed due to a 2nd accident the day before and only 30 runs were open. They still insisted to charge us full price for our lift tickets without even offering any type of apology or a small discount for our next visit. It was as if all was normal and that paying $102 dollars for a ski day with less than 1/2 the runs open and the gondola closed, was normal. We were surprised to see that throughout the day, no grooming of the closed runs was being done and none of the closed runs were being gradually opened. I was surprised to find that the various chalets offered Hospital cafeteria quality food with most of the foods being packaged in plastic. Yes, if you are a fan of Jell-O in a nice non recyclable plastic container, then this is the place for you. Adding a $4 dish water coffee in non recyclable cups was a bonus. We found the staff to be very generic, non smiling and found no warmth in the place. This is not the place to experience the warm french Quebec culture, as we found no local products, either from Micro brewery or the wide selection of delicious gastronomical foods made in the Quebec, Charlevoix area. Unfortunately, this ski resort has lost a lot of it's charm and friendliness ! Le Massif is by far a better choice !
Very nice terrain and variety of lifts. Midweek, so crowds were low. Would definitely visit again if near Quebec City.
Great view and nice hike!
Beautiful place worth visiting.
Clean. Friendly personnel. Excellent housekeeping service.
I have been coming here since the 70's. The skiing is great, with a good assortment of trails. Grooming is average. The blacks are fun and usually ungroomed leaving some really fun moguls. The accommodations are ok, but a bit tired. Not much to do after skiing.
Great place for skiing with either family and friends. Various runs of different levels and one of the longest snow park I've ever seen.
Super fun mountain for snowboarding. It’s a bit quiet in the evenings but if all you’re focused on is the sport, it’s amazing and beautiful. Lovely views! Fun trails and park.
I went in the summer, and it is beautiful.. the staff were so thoughtful and I'm sure I'll come back in the winter!
Xmas 2019, not much snow, but no people as well, the lifts are empty. No crowds at Nordic SPA. The small skate rink they have wasn't working the most of our stay. Overall enjoable vacations with the family and friens you can't order the weather, but could be better.
Superb ski hill with amazing views and a wide range of difficulties! The gondola was closed when we went but it did not feel crowded and we never waited long to get on the lift. We'll be back next year!
There are definitely some nice XCO trails here, but the signage could be improved a little, especially for people who are just visiting and haven't ridden there before. I also did not like that many trails were bidirectional. The trail system in general did not flow well; the end of one trail generally had no relation to the start of any other trail and I spent more time trying to figure out where the next trail was than actually riding.
Very nice sky slopes a little expensive for the inski
Nothing to do during summer
Always snow around Christmas time. The mountain is for all levels. They have the most blue trails. The best view on a trail is la s, it is a really hard trail.
I was 25 seconds late from when the lift closed and my children who already got scanned were waiting for me to go up one last time, they didn’t want to let me go on and they could’ve easily let me through, plus the lady was beyond rude when telling me. I will never again bring my family or come with friends of mine after this trip. I spent over 10 days skiing here with over 10 people this trip and will make sure that never happens again.
excellent skiing, equipment is well maintained. Good variety of green through double blacks. Long season, usually open until the end of April. Been skiing there a couple of times per year for the last 20 years.
Love skiing this mountain! Nice variety of trails,friendly employees
The whole family loved Mont Saint-Anne! cant wait to go back!
Great condition, lots of snow. very good day
Great skiing all around
Despite a cold blustery day and a coating of sugary snow that I was not used to, we stayed all day After the late afternoon grooming and a break to eat and dethaw, the winds died down and the last 3 hours were some of the best skiing I've ever enjoyed, dusted corduroy for miles!!!?
great ski mountain, over 70 slopes for all levels
Update as of Jan 9: Gondolas are back in service but at 50% capacity. No announcement for finalizing the repairs or making investments. Expect wait times for the gondolas-COVID or not. Great mountain but suffers from many years of neglect, mainly on the infrastructure side (lift, chairs and gondolas) and restauration. Access to the top of the Mountain is dependant on a derelict 50 year-old lift/chair, that is slower than walking or gondolas operating with 50% of load. Expect long wait times in the morning both on the South and north sides of the mountain. Gondolas have been out-of-service for 2 years, but back in service at 50% since January. Current leaser of the site have promised fixes but failed consistently to deliver.
Better during the ski season i guess
Favourite place in Quebec
Great hill, went 3 times this season!
MSA chalet was exxellent. Nice and modern. Excellent kitchen amenities and fully stocked for cooking and eating. Full size range and fridge are great.
One if my favourites in eastern Quebec
Great skiing....pricey restaurant.....
Great quality riding. Even with the beginning of the season having less than 1m base, you can tell this station works hard on tending to the trails. One of my favorite spots in this area.
Great challenging mountain, often a lot of snow and friendly skiers! Trails for all ages whether you are an expert or have never skied before. Definitely one of the best mountains in Quebec
Nice mountain for a family vacation.
Mont Saint-Anne is still a beautiful ski hill!
Very nice definitely coming back
Good variety of runs. Nice place but not over built. Easy to get around but does have some long traverses.
Stunning views, great slopes and many runs for all experience levels.
Very good skiing.
I love skiing at Mont Saint Anne. The resort is a bit old school, the gondola is good and their quad chair the handles the expert slopes is comfortable and fast. Large variety of slopes for all skill levels. Love the north side for family skiing, the South has some truly amazing expert slopes. Absolutely love Super S, one of my favorite slopes of all time. Some of the lifts do need an upgrade but overall it's a great skiing experience.
