Millions In Strategic Investments For The New Season In Quebec Ski Resorts!

In preparation for the new season, Quebec ski resorts are continuing their efforts to offer distinctive mountain experiences, modernize their facilities, optimize snowmaking systems, enhance their learning areas, develop their accommodation options, and reduce their environmental footprint. From east to west and north to south, skiers and snowboarders will find a host of new features this winter, including modern facilities, new services, and several innovations, particularly for beginner skiers and snowboarders.

Winter 2025-2026 will also mark the arrival of new activities, festive events and significant improvements in several ski resorts, particularly in the chalets, ski lifts and service areas.
