More St Sauveur Information

Considered the home of Quebec's ski industry, St Sauveur become one of the most popular destinations in eastern North America after the installation of the first ski lift in 1934. In 1948 the first T-bar in North America, imported from Austria, was added. The mountain was originally divided up between several owners, each holding their own strip of land. Eventually all ownership was amalgamated and in 1972 the resort of Mont Saint Sauveur was officially opened.

The resort and village of St Sauveur both offer an assortment of condos, log cabins and vacation homes, as well as boutique hotel rooms. St Sauveur also has been cited as the capital for restaurants in the Laurentides Area. There are more than 60 eating establishments from the most posh such as the L'Ambiance at Manoir Saint Sauveur to fun loving pubs to quaint little cafes and bistros. Shopping is also a fine art in the village and in addition to many one of a kind boutique shops featuring local products there are outlet stores offering great prices on many well known brands.
