With 5 to 7 meters of snowfall annually, over 200 acres of terrain, 7 zones, 4 mountain cabins, and nearly 20 km of alpine touring trails, our backcountry areas are one-of-a-kind concept in Québec.

A new standard in backcountry skiing

The Haute-Route sets a new standard for backcountry skiing areas in Québec. Our offering stands out thanks to the following features:

1. Safety. The safety of our users is a top priority. To this end, we have implemented a comprehensive rescue structure, including heated refuges, marked trails, cellular coverage over more than 80% of the territory, and rescue services that allow you to plan your outings with confidence.

2. Cabins. The area includes four fully equipped cabins located on the summits.

3. Alpine route. The Haute-Route is named for the fact that all our sectors are interconnected, creating an alpine route that can be completed partially or completely, over one or several days.
