Vacation rentals in Saint-Sauveur

Known for its world-famous ski trails, Saint-Sauveur is a peaceful, picturesque village at the base of the Laurentian Mountains in southern Quebec, less than an hour from Montreal. Surrounded by mountains, Saint-Sauveur is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with hiking and mountain biking trails, a zipline track, and horseback riding paths. The region is home to several lakes and ponds, offering endless opportunities for fun on the water during the warmer months. The real gem of Saint-Sauveur, however, is the ski runs, and you’ll find countless routes for skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels. Some resorts even offer night skiing. There are a couple of golf courses around the town, as well as a spa where you can rest your weary muscles after a day of adventuring.

For art enthusiasts and entertainment seekers, the village organizes art shows and outdoor music festivals throughout the year that reflect the local culture. In town, you’ll find unique boutiques and crafty gift shops where you can buy handmade gifts and accessories crafted by local artists.

If you are hoping to take advantage of Saint-Sauveur’s many ski runs and stay in a chalet, the best time to come is between November and February. The short daylight hours won’t stop you from enjoying the slopes, as night skiing is prevalent in the region. Spring can still be very cold, and depending on the temperature and snowfall, you may still be able to enjoy some winter sports.

Summers in Quebec are temperate, and this is a great time to hike the many trails in the Laurentian Mountains or go kayaking on one of the lakes. At the end of August, the village organizes the Auténtica Fiesta Cubana, which celebrates Cuban culture and style through music, dance, and food. In fall, temperatures begin to fall again, and the village organizes a three-day festival during October or November when you can witness the country’s biggest music stars performing against a backdrop of spectacular foliage.

Skiing

With 160 active snow days, Saint-Sauveur offers the longest skiing season in Canada through its world-class ski trails. Winter sports enthusiasts can participate in cross-country skiing in the village or downhill skiing on one of the countless runs that cater to various skill levels.
