by Carolyne Parent

Ah, the idyllic mountain village… In wintertime, we can imagine a snow globe decor! But this village isn’t just about nature. It has its visitors access other summits, such as cultural and gastronomical peaks, know-how in all kinds of fields, including the art of living well. Inspiring, you say? And how!

After the American War of Independence, it was a landing place for Loyalists during the territory’s colonization, and later, towards the end of the 1830s, for the first French-speaking settlers. It was also an itinerary stop over for stagecoaches shuttling between Saint-Jean-sur-le-Richelieu and Troy, Vermont, and subsequently, for the Montréal-Newport, Vermont train route. A prime ski resort destination from early on in the 1960s, especially for Mount Sutton’s many glades, today it’s renowned for being a dynamic place to live or to visit. Come discover this village which is constantly reinventing itself!

Get on a Yooner at Mount Sutton

This northern extension of Vermont’s Green Mountains, dominated by the 962 m Mount Round Top, is an extraordinary four seasons playground. The skiing is amazing here, thanks in part to the $5 million the resort has invested over the past five years in its snowmaking system. Two very unique vehicles have also been made available to diversify your experience on the slopes: the yooner, a kind of snow kart, and the snowscoot, a cross between a BMX bike and a snowboard. Furthermore, the season is spiced up with lively après-ski events with guest performers, the boutique’s demo presentations, and a host of activities taking place during the spring break. See you at the chalet?

Enjoy a Moonlight Hike

A great asset of Sutton is undoubtedly the Village-Mountain trail. It leads to the Parc d’environnement naturel, a network of trails that can be hiked almost all year round and certainly offering one of the most beautiful venues in the province. This winter, you’ll want to add a new activity to your calendar: the moonlight hike! Three guided evening outings to the top of the mountain are planned under the charm of the night sky. Put on your snowshoes, dust off your headlamp and let the adventure begin! (Reservations required.)

Become a Child Again

Clearly, the Alpagas Sutton farm draws us by our emotions! The animals here are too, too cute! Both winter and summer, you can approach these “giant poodles” as you follow a half-kilometre-long self-guided tour. It runs along the farm’s pastures, among the most bucolic in the region. We bet you’ll go for your kids, but won’t want to leave either!
