The Laurentian mountain range is one of the oldest in the world. Over 540 million years ago these peaks were pushed out of the earth to await our enjoyment. Mont St. Anne sits just off the coast of the beautiful St. Lawrence river in Quebec, Canada, 40km east of the historic Quebec city. Its flat peak, 800 metres (2625 ft.) above sea level, has eroded over millennia and provides adventurous explorers picturesque views of the surrounding landscape. Its cold here – barely hitting above -10°C (14°F) on an average day in January. If night skiing is your thing Mont St. Anne features 15 km (9 mi) of night skiing trails – but bundle up, because its even colder when the sun isn’t out. While Mont St. Anne grew before our Cambrian ancestors developed spines – you’ll definitely need to grow one to stay till last chair in the dead of winter. Or go for their 151 km (94 mi) of mountain biking in the summer when its hot – we won’t tell you how to live your life.
