Mont-Sainte-Anne, Ski resort and mountain in Beaupré, Canada.
Mont-Sainte-Anne is a ski resort on a Laurentian mountain in Beaupré, about 40 km northeast of Quebec City. The summit reaches 800 m above sea level, with a vertical drop of 625 m. Its 71 downhill trails cover 71 km on the southern, northern and western sides, served by nine lifts including a gondola.
Local volunteers started skiing here in 1943 by cutting the first trail, which led to the resort's official opening in 1966. This grassroots beginning shaped the mountain into an important winter sports destination in the Quebec region.
Mont-Sainte-Anne has hosted alpine World Cup races six times for men (1969, 1971, 1973, 1976, 1980, 1990) and six times for women (1969, 1971, 1973, 1976, 1980, 1984). It has held UCI Mountain Bike World Cup rounds since 1991 and the UCI Mountain Bike and Trials World Championships in 1998 and 2010. In 2023 it hosted the snowboard cross World Cup event Battle Royale.
The mountain offers well-lit runs for evening skiing, with many trails equipped for night operations that extend your time on the slopes. When planning a visit, consider that higher elevation means cooler temperatures and more variable weather conditions.
This mountain has Canada's longest night skiing terrain, with illuminated trails that let visitors ski well after sunset. The evening runs offer a different experience from typical daytime skiing.
