At the foot of the ski trails, Hébergement Mont-Sainte-Anne is the only lodging offer with indoor parking and year-round ski or bicycle lockers. From studios to condos with up to 3 bedrooms, the choice is yours! Don’t feel like cooking? Then feast on one of restaurant Le Brez’s 9 cheese fondues near the lodging complex, or sink your teeth into a tasty crêpe at Les Petits Becs. What more can we ask for?
For a lodging option at the heart of the action, Chalets Montmorency is a friendly family-run business that’s been around for over 46 years, where you’re made to feel right at home in their small Swiss chalets with European charm. Or why not stay in their larger villas overlooking the ski slopes or in their studio, condo or larger vacation rentals? At Chalets Montmorency, you’re only steps away from cross-country ski and snowshoe trails, and a short drive to the ski area. And to cap off an already wonderful day, relax in their huge indoor pool and hot tub.
A full lineup of chalets and condos can be yours with Chalets-Village Mont-Sainte-Anne 2- to 32-bedroom options. Whether you lean towards French-Canadian or Scandinavian chalets, their authentic and modern touches are sure to charm. Several units feature a hot tub, and even a sauna at Maison Ricard, in addition to free access to the indoor pool and fitness room. An all-time favourite is D-Chalet: Located in a quiet sector 2 minutes from the ski area, it includes a ski shuttle, a skating rink and a playground right out front, plus a trail leading either to the golf course or the mountain − without ever needing to take your car!
Perched on a cliffside, these typical all-pine Québécois square log chalets are scattered about the woods. Chalets sur le Cap offers breathtaking views of the St. Lawrence River, Cap-Tourmente and Île d’Orléans. A top travellers pick, this lovely site also features 5 km of hiking trails along the cape. Perfect for an uplifting winter stay, or a summertime must too because of its proximity to Canyon Sainte-Anne.
Located midway between Mont-Sainte-Anne and Le Sentier des Caps in a peaceful nature setting, affordable Les Refuges des Monts consist of small 2- or 3-bedroom fully equipped chalets with hot tub and high-speed internet. Relax under the stars around your campfire or soak those muscles in the hot tub − nothing compares after a nice day in the great outdoors! On the corner nearby, shop heavenly local delicacies and fresh discoveries at La Ferme Québec-Oies.
As a B & B option, quaint Auberge & Campagne has 9 guest rooms and visitors are free to enjoy its kitchen and common area, with fireplace. Breakfast is included, served as a healthy-choice buffet showcasing delicious local fare. The inn’s plus? Its awesome atmosphere: Bar Chez Pat is run by one of the inn’s two friendly owners. Also, rent electric fatbikes on the premises, and head straight out to the trails without wasting a drop of energy getting there − pedaling uphill!
In Saint-Ferréol-les-Neiges, the Villéa Complex is on rang St-Julien, the road to Mont Sainte-Anne’s Cross-Country Ski Centre (where there are also snowshoe and fatbike trails). Its charming small chalets with a modern look have everything for a cozy stay. Fatbike rentals and a bistro are among its proposed services. The perfect balance between sports and R & R!
So have you made your pick? Tiny tip: Plan several escapades to try different lodging options and share your favourites with us afterwards! And do come back to discover the region’s charms in the warmer months, when all these lodging addresses are just as fabulous for enjoying summer activities too. Have a great stay!
