Mont Sutton

We were super impressed with this small Canadian Ski resort. The tree skiing here at Sutton is fantastic and the overall vibe was great too. The base area had a DJ today which made the experience really fun. We couldn't recommend a visit here highly enough, this is a special place all around!

Sutton Mountain is one of those places that reminds you why hiking is worth the effort. If you enjoy trails that combine fresh mountain air, peaceful forests, and beautiful lake views, this area really delivers. I came here looking for a simple hike, but the experience felt much more special than I expected. The trail climbs gently at first, moving through quiet woods where you can hear nothing but the wind and the birds. As you go higher, small openings start to appear between the trees, giving you little previews of the mountains around you. It’s the kind of hike where the scenery slowly builds, and every few minutes you feel rewarded with something new. One of the highlights for me was reaching the sections where you can see the lakes from above. The water looks calm and clear, and the combination of the lake below and the mountains in the distance creates an incredible view. It’s the perfect spot to stop, take a breath, drink some water, and just enjoy the moment. You don’t need to be a professional hiker to appreciate it — the trail is manageable, and the payoff is completely worth it. As you continue toward the top, the view opens even more. You get a full panorama of the surrounding landscape, with lakes, rolling hills, and deep forests all in one frame. It’s the kind of view that makes you feel small in the best way. If you’re someone who loves hiking with real scenic rewards, mountains, lakes, and peaceful nature, Sutton Mountain is definitely worth visiting. It’s a beautiful trail that gives you everything: a good walk, clean air, and unforgettable views.

Amazing ski slope. Went during winter break. Was not very crowded. Only problem was we had trouble finding a place to stay, I would very much recommend booking early, as everything runs out fast. Nice double black and blacks. Some slops have a lot of ice while some have none. Three skiing is very fun there and very beautiful. The views you get are amazing. I WOULD VERY MUCH RECOMMEND LESSONS. THE INSTRUCTORS ARE NICE AND ARE VERY HELPFUL. YOU ALSO GET TO SKIP THE ENTIRE LINE WITH THEM. WOULD VERY MICH RECOMMEND. Food is also amazing.

Mont Sutton may be small, but it’s incredibly diverse—and refreshingly free from the typical crowded ski resort atmosphere. Just a short drive from Montreal, it offers a more authentic and enjoyable experience than the over-rated, overcrowded resorts in the Laurentians. Arrive early and connect with the local guides—they’ll literally ski with you (for free!) and share the mountain’s history as they guide you around. We were lucky enough to spend time with Christianne, 78 years old and still crushing it, who shared the story behind the resort's creation. An unforgettable, personal, and genuinely inspiring experience. This place truly has soul.

Excellent place to hike on during the summer. Steep but not too challenging, and the summit offers stunning views of the surrounding hills. There's a campground on top too. There's no entrance fee if you're only hiking. Alaric recommends 👐 ⛰️

Just finished an amazing day at Mont Sutton. One of the services offered for free... is a personal guide to show you around the Mountain. Michel gave us the 5 star tour. We explored the mountain, learned interesting facts and were given the knowledge to be able to navigate all the terrain in the afternoon on our own. One of the best ski experiences I have had. Would give 10 stars if I could.

I went pretty early and the colour seems to not be peak yet. But they have free music every weekend on Fall. There is a ride/gondola that can take you to the top for extra fees. The place has skiing, hiking, mountain bikes and many other activities. Plenty of parking.

Usually go here in the winter but decided to check it out in the summer. Can take a ride up the hill to see nice scenery. The top of hill isn’t as well organized as Mont Tremblant hill is, but still we had a nice time. If you like hiking or mountain biking then this is the place for you.

La montagne au grand cœur! Something for everyone! Les plus beaux sous-bois! Best glades!

Mont Sutton is a mountain that caters to the more experienced skier. The runs can be narrow and steep in certain places. When there is fresh snow you will have an awesome day on the slopes, however on icy days it can be tough to ski. This is also a really good hill to come to if you like skiing glades because there is plenty of that. The runs of similar skill level all seem to be grouped together in one place. The lifts are distinguished by number and in general the higher the lift number the more difficult the terrain that it will lead to. If you can't ski at least blue squares then you should avoid the summit. That being said if you are comfortable on these runs or black diamonds then definitely go up there because that is where the best runs seem to be. As far as the cafeteria goes they have one of the better ones out there. The food is for the most part reasonably priced and quite good when compared to other ski resorts. There are three chalets at different elevations so when lunchtime rolls around you will have your pick of where to eat. When the snow has just fallen then definitely come to Sutton to take advantage of the powder. It is a great mountain offering up challenging skiing and the experience as a whole is always pretty good here.

Mont Sutton is a charming, old fashioned, and fairly challenging ski area. About half the mountain and almost everything off the top is expert terrain. Trails labeled as glades feature widely spaced trees. I noted evidence that they did get a groomer into a blue glade, but for the most part the glades are bumped. Double blacks marked tree skiing have much tighter trees and feature tight chutes. The only high speed lift goes about 3/4 the way up and serves mostly blue terrain. About half the blues are glades. So if you want to spend the day on perfectly groomed slopes, you'd be happier elsewhere. But if you, like I, enjoy going off the beaten path, you'll like it here. Off the mountain one will find a small, quiet, and authentic town of Sutton. I wasn't looking for nightlife, but had I looked, I doubt I would have found much. (There was a band at the 400m lodge Friday afternoon, but I don't know how long they played.) If, on the other hand, you are looking for a romantic dinner, you will be pleased. Book early though, 'cause places do fill up. Another note on restaurants is I didn't find any with kid menus. Some are better than others to take kids, but I didn't find any I would really call kid friendly.

Sutton is a mount for advanced skiers. As the chair numbers grow the slopes become steeper and the glades narrower. Do your snow dance and on a powder day Sutton is haven. For those who don't feel comfortable with advanced terrain, the ski trails under chairs one and two are good for practice. Another part of the heavenly experience is to stop for lunch in the rustic mountain top chalet at altitude 840 for soup or chilly in a bread bowl and warm up around the fire place. Don't hesitate to visit Sutton during the summer. Note there is an entrance fee of 5 dollars for the nature reserve. Even hiking may be advanced when climbing up the top of the mountain, the reward is the best view of Vermont and UNY mountains. The chalets are closed off the ski season, but if in need for some brew after hiking, the little town of Sutton offers few nice places to relax.

We love Mont Sutton! As first time skiers, this place has made my family's skiing experience one of a kind. The staff and people who ski here are nice, helpful and very friendly. It is definitely a family friendly ski lodge and it doesn't seem overwhelmingly crowded. We've been here twice in the last 3 weeks and would highly recommend it. My sons ages 3 and 7 both have done the classes. They have enjoyed their instructures and have picked up skiing fairly fast. They have gone from knowing nothing about skiing to being able to go down the green trails on their own. My 3 year old enjoys going to the daycare after his classes. The place is clean and did I mention the staff is amazing and super helpful. The views are pretty impressive too. This place has become my family's skiing destination and we are loving the memories we are creating here. The 5 hour drive is totally worth it. J'aime Mont Sutton! Je vais revenier!
