If you\u2019re looking for a getaway that combines adventure, relaxation and exceptional scenery, here\u2019s a short glimpse of what this region has to offer!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zero Emission Vanlife Thanks to Bromont Campervan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The adventure gets underway in Bromont, where we take possession of a100% electrically powered converted van by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bromontcampervan.com\/\"><strong>Bromont Campervan<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0awaits.

We\u2019re launched into the void (almost!) on the <a href=\"https:\/\/montsutton.com\/en\/activity\/zipline-coaster\/\">zipline coaster,<\/a> a first in North America. Imagine a zipline rollercoaster with steep descents, tight turns around trees and 450-degree loops over a distance of 655 metres. We feel like we\u2019re flying through the forest on a burst of pure adrenaline!<\/p>\n<p>After having experienced this unique moment, we change our gear\u00a0to take on the <a href=\"https:\/\/montsutton.com\/en\/activity\/giant-zipline\/\">Giant Zipline<\/a>. As we head up the mountain in the chairlift that will take us to the launch platform, we\u2019re awed by the spectacular panoramic views overlooking the Mount Sutton Massif and the Green Mountain Reserve. This, however, can\u2019t be compared to the experience of heading down the mountain which really took our breath away! Covering a distance of 1\u00a0km, the Giant Zipline is the steepest one in all of Canada. Buckle up your belts for a descent hitting speeds of up to 100\u00a0km\/h (!), followed by a second zipline taking you further down for another 400 metres.<\/p>\n<p>The day ends in a festive ambiance at the foot of the mountain. We enjoy a fine meal with refreshing drinks at the Cube-Ik outdoor restaurant, while enjoying a live music show, surrounded by mountain enthusiasts making the most of this magnificent summer day!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16059 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/tyrolienne-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1204\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/tyrolienne-1.jpg 1204w, https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/tyrolienne-1-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/tyrolienne-1-1024x255.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/tyrolienne-1-768x191.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/tyrolienne-1-800x199.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/tyrolienne-1-1000x249.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/tyrolienne-1-500x125.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1204px) 100vw, 1204px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Sun\u2026 and the Stars<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After a hearty meal, we offer ourselves a chairlift ride up the hill to enjoy an evening hike that will take us to the Round Top where we can admire the setting sun, one of my favourite Qu\u00e9bec hikes!

Located in Glen Sutton, the Au Diable Vert outdoor resort is the only venue offering this spectacular nocturnal show. Comfortably settled in the heated seats, we discover a star-filled sky through our augmented reality helmets, which indicate the constellations and stars\u2019 names while linking them to their real positions. Our eyes bright with excitement, after this fascinating experience, we head back to Mount Sutton (because yes, it\u2019s possible to spend the night directly at the mountain resort inside our van!) to enjoy a lovely night\u2019s sleep, dreaming the sweetest dreams.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16048 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/observetoile.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1204\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/observetoile.jpg 1204w, https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/observetoile-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/observetoile-1024x255.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/observetoile-768x191.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/observetoile-800x199.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/observetoile-1000x249.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/app\/uploads\/2024\/09\/observetoile-500x125.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1204px) 100vw, 1204px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Still More to Discover<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The next morning, we head back on the road, making a couple of stops to discover some of the vineyards set on the <a href=\"https:\/\/tourismebrome-missisquoi.ca\/en\/attractions\/brome-missisquoi-wine-route\/\"><strong>Route des\u00a0Vins de\u00a0Brome-Missisquoi<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a> .
