Mont Jacob, Mountain summit in Jonquière, Canada.
Mont Jacob is a 213 meter summit in Jonquière surrounded by forest and crossed by a network of walking and cycling trails. These paths connect the mountain to a cultural center in the valley and lead to viewpoints overlooking the city.
The mountain once operated as a ski center providing winter sports for the area. Over time this use was abandoned and the land transformed into a recreational area for year-round outdoor activities.
The cultural center at the mountain's base has been a gathering place for the community for decades, hosting exhibitions and theater productions. Today it remains an active venue where locals and visitors experience local arts and events together.
Visitors can access the trails from the parking lot near the cultural center and choose between two main routes up the summit. The paths are open year-round but require sturdy footwear and moderate fitness.
Old stone ruins stand at the summit beside an observation point, remnants of the former ski facility. These structures quietly mark a different chapter in the mountain's history.
