An official Québec Heritage Site, Sucrerie de la Montagne is the pioneer
of Québec's year-round sugar shacks. Located roughly midway between
Montréal and Ottawa, not far from the major highways connecting these
two cities, Sucrerie de la Montagne takes you back in time to offer you
a unique glimpse into Québec and Canadian folklore. We welcome visits by
groups and individuals.
