Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Mountain resort town in Les Laurentides, Canada.
Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts is a town in Les Laurentides built across forested hills and defined by Lake des Sables at its center. The settlement developed around this lake and is framed by forests and mountains that shape the local landscape.
The first families arrived in 1849 to establish the settlement under Augustin-Norbert Morin's guidance. The railway connection built in 1892 accelerated growth significantly and transformed the place into an important regional center.
The town's name honors Saint Agathe and its connection to the surrounding mountains that define the place's identity. The Catholic church from 1904 remains a central landmark reflecting the religious importance the community has held since its founding.
The town features an extensive network of bicycle paths on the Le Petit Train Du Nord route that connects cyclists to Montreal. These well-maintained trails allow visitors to explore the surroundings actively while staying connected to neighboring regions.
The place functioned as a tuberculosis sanatorium in 1899 that drew many people seeking recovery. This medical past led to its transformation into a modern year-round destination offering winter and water sports.
