Hiking in the mountain

From June 01 2024 to November 01 2024

 

You like physical activities and you are looking to be at one with nature? Mont SUTTON offers different hiking experiences that will satisfy all adventure lovers. And if you want to make the outing educative, check out the Biokit of the massif des monts Sutton. Here are the available options:

 

 

 

1. The hike with the chairlift ride

 

This shortened hike is perfect for families or anyone who wants to enjoy the view.

 

For this one, several combinations are possible: you can either take the chairlift ride up, down or for the round-trip (offered as of June 22nd).

 

The chairlift ride gives you quick access to the observation point at the top of the Chalet Alt.680m, from where you can then continue your ascent by hiking to the summit Alt.840m and back down by the ski slopes or by chairlift ride.

 

Some people do their cardio by climbing to one of the summits and then enjoy the descent by chairlift with their feet in the air.

 

Take advantage of this experience to contemplate the flora and discover the different sculptures of local artists along the slopes.

This hike, expert level, is perfect for advanced hikers. Good hiking boots are a must. From the ski resort, it lasts approximately 4 to 5 hours (round trip) and offers a magnificent panorama of Lake Mohawk in the Parc d’environnement naturel de Sutton. For a view of the surrounding mountains, continue your hike to the Abenakis rock. What are you waiting for?
