About us

Les Sommets, ont the trail of our history...

The Quebec ski industry was born in a small town in the Laurentians, called Saint-Sauveur-des-monts. From the installation of the first ski lifts in North America to the development of one of the country’s biggest ski area, les Sommets’ history is one about family, ambition, innovation and passion.
