Description
Mont Orignal is a winter resort located not far from Lac Etchemin.[1][2] It offers many winter activities like alpine skiing, cross-country skiing (54 km of classic / free skating trail) and snow tubing (three runs). Mont Orignal also offers the possibility to rent fully equipped cottage. Also, Mont Orignal is the only resort in Quebec using a high-speed six pack (a detachable chairlift with six seats) to reach the summit. It maintains the largest snowpark in the province of Quebec.
