What are the best Montreal ski resorts? The Montreal area in the Canadian province of Quebec has some of the best ski resorts in eastern North America, many within just an hour or two’s drive away from the city. Take your pick from trails and runs that will suit any level of difficulty you may be looking for.
While the regions around Montreal may not be the Rockies, it’s still a gorgeous area to go skiing or hiking. The area is filled with lakes, rolling hills and rounded-topped mountains. The higher hills can range between elevations of 330m to 520m (or 984 to 1,706 in feet). By comparison, The Whistler ski area is 1,564m (5,122 feet) and Zermatt in the Swiss Alps is up around 2,210m (7,250 feet). So you won’t find any record-breaking heights when skiing around Montreal.
