A gondola ride: see you at the top of the mountain!

No need to wait for snow to reach the peaks of the Mont-Orford Ski Resort and enjoy a unique experience! Step out of the ordinary with a gondola ride in the middle of fall, a fun and original way to admire the mountain’s autumnal beauty.

Once at the top, take the time to marvel at the view from the five observation decks. Don’t miss the impressive suspended observation deck on the Altitude Circuit and the Elevation Trail, which offers 4 stations with immersive experiences that allow hikers to take a break or enjoy a moment of contemplation.

Chairlifts in an autumn landscape

After your high-altitude hike, head to the foot of the slopes for the fall version of après-ski fun: every weekend, the terrace comes alive with themed activities. Treat yourself to one of the gourmet options and enjoy the musical performances and DJs.

Hiking trails decked out in fall colours

Looking for a sporting challenge or a moment of contemplation? Whether on foot or by bike, take the opportunity to see fall colours and get some exercise while admiring nature.

For a more active outing, explore the trails of Mont-Orford National Park and let yourself be charmed by its breathtaking views at the summit or by the lake! More than 80 km of trails await you for your hike. Love biking? Cruise quietly along the bike paths or try mountain biking for a more adventurous experience, thanks to rentals available on site.
