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.

Jake Graham

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.

Nathan Ramsay

Great for Eastern Canada skiing

Philippe Robitaille

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.

Richard Hartman

Had an amazing time here. Hope to make this a regular vacation.

Annette Paquin

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.

Keith Carter

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.

Peter

Awesome as always. Great layout. Nice and helpful staff. Bravo!

steve weiler

Beautiful Resort . Very Good Price. Decent Location.

Monika S

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.

Stephen S

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.

Wow this mountain is so much fun..

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 …

Peter Andreana

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).

Patrick Deschamps

Great facility - good grooming - awesome staff. Well organized

Nu Dub (indipride)

Good spot at the top and well taken care of!

Radu Vintila

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.

Danny

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.

Steven Lusignan

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 …

Shiham Ghouse

Great mountain with a beautiful view on the river!

The Kendrick

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 …

Kal Alhaija

Great place to ski with family

Fearocious Fearocious

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.

Cindy Dutton

Great staff and great skiing. A little bit of everything for all skill levels. Would highly recommend!

Vasyl Ivasyk

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.

Tanner DeMerchant

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. …

Greg Herzberg

Excellent ski resort. A1 grooming. No long wait at lifts. Friday Feb. 19 ... Very nice temperature.

S3B

nice place to ski

Jim Wang

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.

Sean Montgomery

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.

Matt Surrey

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.

Brady Coggins

Great for families and groups of all sizes. Friendly service and ski activities for all.

Jean-Pierre Nziya

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.

Rod D

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.

Nathan Connor

Very busy and not much room to go play due to gouvernement sanitary mesures have to reserve on-line.

Jaxson Courteau

A variety of trails to choose from.

Cesar Mendoza

Great family location! Lots of varied runs. Great rates and very close to Quebec City!! A must ski for anyone in the east.

Tanya Circosta

For a good hike and a nice picnic on top of the mountain

Nathan England

Great mountain. Something for everyone from bunny hills to double diamonds, this mountain will not disappoint. Will be back here soon.

ROBBIS TV

Love this place - not too big, friendly, great hills.

callum ewen

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.

Caitlin Warburton

Great place to ski. Fun and affordable. The ski school is great

Isabelle Gauthier

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.

Ari

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!

Var

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.

James Kerr

Great atmosphere, skied 3 days and the conditions were pretty good for the amount of people there. Would definitely reccomend for a getaway.

Roman Merkin

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.

P S

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

Chris jenkins

Good for all levels of skiing or snowboarding. Snow biking, cross country skiing or just hiking

Jeff Cheng

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.

Tony Haddad

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 …

Emilie Noel

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

Alexandra-Maude Grenier

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.

Sarah F W

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.

Mike Robertson

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 ????

Sophie Baillargeon

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.

Karine Rocheleau

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.

SR Watson

An great ski hill, a variety of runs for every skill level with stunning views.

Eli “Goldberg” Eats

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.

Preston Oles

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.

Oliver Delima

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.

Torun

Awesome hill. Had such fun there. Runs are long so less time on the lift.

Peter Barnaby

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!

Allan Zander

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.

Heather Peatman

Nice skiing but nothing else to do

Victor Torres

Very nice place to visis for vacations

Chris Longo

Lots of runs from begginers to pro. Great condition. Also skiicentric resort so some runs are harder to get through with snowboards.

moody harris

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.

Nick Morrison

Can't wait for the gondola to be open again for DH. Very excited :)

Emma Langham

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.

Yulia Ovchinnikova

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.

Gnomze

Special places Very very nice

Marianna Egyed

Beautiful and relaxing place.

Jacque Ducker

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 …

Jacob Bertram

Good trekking experience. More signs are needed on the trails to make the journey more effective.

William Roberts

Amazing skiing and lodging.

Vinay choudhary

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!

Liesl MacGregor

Very good ski place and and not so clouded like Tremblant.

Jason Thorne

Awesome camping and Great trails.

Eli Sand

Nice mountain for a family vacation.

Matt Paiton

Beautiful views. Slope 38 degrees. Longer runs on south side. Average 2km

Jules D.

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.

Nathalie D

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.

Michael Holmes

Definitely would come back again! Such a beautiful place!

Web Drift

Fantastic skiing and great view on the St Lawrence River !

Jungmin Kim

Great skiiing not long wakt times fast lifts reallly nice got buetifull views love it

J Coon

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!!

Jesse Rader

This is an amazing experience with lots of nice restaurants, boating, canoing biking, hiking and exploring St.Anne trails,

Annabel Veilleux

Superb, love the vibe, atmosphere (literally clean air) and friendly people)

Mark brilling

Amazing runs... Great helpful staff... love it here

Paul T

Fantastic ski hill with good package deals and great people working there. Will definately make a return visit.

Great place to take a gondola ride for scenic views of the St Lawrence river

vikram ranade

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

Claude H.

Fall colors are AMAZING!

Gordon Blyth

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.

Sarah Dukes

Well organized. Great gondola system and lifts. Nice wide trails

Ron Wilkins

Absolutely amazing! Quality, price everything is 5 star

Serge Girard

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.

Greg Channer

We went I July so no skiing just hiking. Had beautiful sights and a couple water falls across the road Wich are breath taking.

Gabriela Aparicio

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!

Kristi Scott

Nice chalet and mountain! Some of the harder glades are found here

Lynn Cragg

Awesome and unique place to go hiking, biking or paragliding !

Benoit Guertin (Loosepiston)

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 …

C Nez

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 !

Vladimir L

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

anh dao

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.

Luc Dumont

Great area with amazing places to hike! Wish there were a few more good restaurants and shops.

Frank Appache

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

Serg P

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!
