The Autumn Colours Are Waiting for You at Mont-Sutton

Autumn is slowly starting to show its face, the weather is particularly splendid and Mont-SUTTON is renewing its annual Fall Festival event.

The festival concept is as simple as it is fun! Make the most of the mountain’s summer offering one last time before the cold weather sets in. Mountain biking, hiking, camping at the summit, the giant zipline and the zipline coaster, disc golf, chairlift rides… you’ll have plenty of activities to choose from and, as every year, the whole family is welcome to join in the 5 weekends of festivities, from September 19 to October 18.

One Mountain, a Thousand Ways to Have Fun

Thrill-seekers, this section is for you! Mont SUTTON’s two zip lines promise unforgettable adrenaline rushes. The giant zip line, with 1.4 km of pure descent and speeds topping 100 km/h, is officially the steepest in Canada! And if you want even more, the switchback zip line will have you spinning through the forest over 655 metres. A one-of-a-kind course in North America!

✨ Good to know! You can experience the giant zip line as a duo! The adventure begins with a chairlift ride up to 680 m elevation, where a stunning view of the surrounding mountains awaits.

 

For cyclists, whether budding or seasoned, the mountain biking trails are calling your name. Beginner? Perfect! The introductory lessons will give you everything you need to tackle the slopes safely.
