SNOW ALERT Mont-Sainte-Anne is well-renowed for the alpine and cross-country skiing centres but the region offers many more secrets for you to discover...
Just a few minutes from the mountain, two Nordic Spas offer a relaxing après-ski. Share that moment with your family, friends or spouse and enjoy the benefits of alternating hot/cold. Massotherapy and body care are also offered.
A few kilometers away from the slopes and the Mont-Sainte-Anne Cross-Country Ski Center, relax in the aromatic steam bath, the Finnish sauna, the outdoor spa, the bracing rain and the Nordic waterfall.
In front of the St. Lawrence river, this thermal spa awaits you with its whirlpools, hammam, Finnish sauna and of course, its incredible view on l’Île-d’Orléans.
Explore the winter by taking advantage of the trails maintained by the community. Over 35 kilometers of trails are maintained by volunteers, with the majority located on the plateau (south of the Jean-Larose River). A beautiful loop is also available to the north, featuring L'Échappé, L'érablière, and La Grisante. Refer to the map to discover all the trails.
Les Secrets Nordiques operates 7 days a week at the Cross-country ski Center. They offer a wide range of winter activities for all ages, to be done alone, with your family or with a group.

Mont-Sainte-Anne also runs a traditional Sugar Shack at the base of the mountain, directly next to the outdoor stage. A major success with the young ones (and youngs at heart), you can cut your run in half, stop at the shack and grab a tasty treat, traditional hot maple taffy, served on a bed of fresh snow and scooped up with wooden sticks.
The Sugar Shack in generally open all weekends and 7 days a week during Spring Breaks and Holidays. Please consult our Daily Snow Report to know if it is running the day of your visit.
The sanctuary of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré Basilica, which celebrated its 350 years in 2008, is located less than 8km from Mont-Sainte-Anne and is one of the oldest pilgrimage sites in North America. With more than one and a half million pilgrims and visitors every year, this place is only a few minutes away from the Mont-Sainte-Anne resort and is a must-see for any history, religion and culture followers.
