This mountain park has everything to satisfy winter sports enthusiasts, who will find 20 slopes for alpine skiing of all levels, with a vertical drop of 335 metres. As for freestylers, they'll find what they're looking for in the snow park. Cross-country skiing is also a great option, with over 140 km of marked and groomed trails for beginners and experienced skiers alike. A chalet with a waxing room lets you get ready in a warm place, and there's also an equipment rental service. The area is popular with alpine hiking enthusiasts as well: the trails run through a magnificent forest and lead to spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.

A school that teaches you the basics

One of the goals of the team behind Mont Grand-Fonds is to offer skiing and snowboarding activities to as many people as possible, at attractive prices.

And if you're new to the sport, try one of the introductory packages - Iniski, Inisurf or Inifond - which are designed for beginners. These packages include ski, snowboard or cross-country ski equipment rental, a private one-hour lesson and access to the school slope's t-bar ski lift or cross-country ski trails.
