On the slopes

Intermediates and Advanced will love skiing Mont-Sainte-Anne ski resort - with around 60% of the slopes just for them! Beginners are also well catered for and the ski schools are well recommended. Finally even experts will like the 15% runs including some great off-piste challenges but the longest run is only 2kms. 12 lifts transport up to 18,500 people per hour to keep things moving. If you like cross-country this is the resort for you - there are 223kms of groomed cross-country skiing trails, and a further 125kms of cross-country skating trails.

Off the slopes

In Mont Sainte Anne there's a good variety of accommodation including hotels, bed-and-breakfasts, and apartments. Restaurant choices are good too, with around 30 to choose from, offering everything from pizza to haute cuisine. Après-ski is provided by a small array of bars, though for something really lively you'll need to head to the nearby city of Québec.

Away from the slopes, other activities include bowling, snowshoeing, dog-sledding, ice-skating, skidooing, snowmobiling and paragliding.

WE LIKE

  • The trails for intermediate and advanced are excellent with challenge and variation
  • You're 20 minutes from downtown Quebec City so the nightlife is whatever you want it to be
  • Great all round experience from slopes to restaurants and bars

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Numbing temperatures in Jan and Feb on the slopes - so wrap up very warm
  • Exerts may be dissappointed as not much in terms of steep drops or real challenges
  • Being so close to Quebec City means the resort is not as lively as many - but that's great for families
