Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Mountain resort town in Les Laurentides, Canada.

Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts spreads across 130 square kilometers of terrain at 369 meters altitude, surrounded by forests and centered around Lake des Sables.

The settlement began in 1849 when the first families arrived under Augustin-Norbert Morin's guidance, leading to rapid growth after the 1892 railway construction.

The Catholic church, constructed in 1904, stands as a central monument after Dr. Luc-Eusèbe Larocque donated the land following his California Gold Rush success.

The town maintains extensive bicycle paths on Le Petit Train Du Nord network, connecting cyclists to Montreal through interconnected regional trails.

The municipality transformed from a tuberculosis treatment center in 1899 to a modern four-season destination offering winter sports and water activities.
