One of the favourite places for hikers is Parc d’Environment Naturel. More information about the Park can be found in our article below.

Sutton is a way of life, so be careful. You may decide to stay. Many visitors become residents. The Sutton quality of life shines through every visit..Whether it be skiing, cycling, walking on many miles of trails, leisurely enjoying lunch, or shopping, your body and your mind will enjoy your visit.

Sutton’s unique French-English history and traditions, great shopping, dining, wonderful hébergement in our great collection of hotels, motels and friendly B&Bs, together with the nearby Brome-Mississquoi wine trail are the perfect prescription for a joyous week, a relaxing weekend, or one of Quebec’s best day trips.

An hour from Montreal, just a bit more from Burlington Vermont and Sherbrooke Quebec, Sutton is a breeze to reach from everywhere.

And there is a new reason to drive to Sutton: the hydro poles are gone from the town centre. Sutton community members decided to put all the wires underground to make the view more comfortable for you. Today Sutton has an open vista that lets you be charmed by the historic buildings and the unobstructed view of the nearby mountains.

Sutton has a wide range of places to stay from established and government rated B&B’s to hotel/motel and condominium accomodation in town and on the mountain.

Visit Sutton. A town you will love.

Sutton is noted for its excellent and highly diverse artistic offerings. Many cultural activities take place at the John Sleeth Centre, which houses the Arts Sutton Gallery, the Bibliothèque Sutton Library, the Volunteer Centre, the Golden Age Club, the Sutton Day Care Centre, the Knights of Columbus and the Sutton Youth Centre.

But that’s not all! As a stop along the Chemin des Cantons, which proudly showcases the man-made and natural heritage of the Eastern Townships, Sutton offers many self-guided tours, including the Tour des Arts, a unique opportunity to visit local artists and craftspeople in their studios, the Circuit patrimonial, which has 26 sites of interest, 16 of them in the village and 10 on secondary roads, as well as the Circuit églises-cimetières, a circuit of local churches and their cemeteries.

To discover some of the locally created artwork, you can also visit such venues as the Galerie l’Art d’Aimer, the Farfelu, the Studio d’art Constantin, the Galerie d’Art Les Imagiers, the Forge d’Oll, the Bouquet d’Amour workshop, the gallery Art Jonction and the Galerie Charmante.

On the performance side of things, there is the Coeur du village, in the Salle Alec et Gérard Pelletier, which presents movies and workshops, as well as Espace Sutton which promotes the performing arts. Some restaurants feature jazz concerts (Café International), the blues (Auberge des Appalaches) or a range of musical performers (Le Cafetier) on a regular basis.

Finally, there’s the Musée de la Société d’histoire de Sutton, which takes you back to communications in the last century.

“This trip takes us to the beautiful ski country of Mont Sutton in southern Quebec just ten miles north of the Vermont border. It’s planned around the preeminent masters stage race of North America, the Coupe des Ameriques. Designated each of the past several years as the UCI Masters North American Road Race Championship, it includes categories for both men and women. While the field composition is predominantly North American there are an increasingly large number of overseas riders competing here each year. The Coupe des Ameriques is phenomenally well organized and has been the highlight of my season for the last 19 yrs.”

“Non-riding spouses and guests also love this trip for all the reasons anyone would love a weekend in a great tourist destination. This distinctly French-speaking part of Canada offers excellent restaurant and cafe’s, nice boutiques and shops as well as many outdoor activities in this extremely scenic area.

Our host hotel, LeMontagnard Condo & Hotel, is a lovely property of condos and studio apartments that accommodate anywhere from two to six people, comfortably, depending on the unit. LeMontagnard has a very nice pool, Jacuzzi, deck and bar area. It is also within easy riding distance from all race venues and less than a mile from Sutton’s town center.”
