A chairlift at Mont Sutton also serves the network for those looking to save their legs. After your ride, make your way to Auberge Sutton Brouërie, a microbrewery serving craft beers fermented with brettanomyces yeasts, with rooms upstairs to extend your stay.
A Glamping and Hiking Getaway
For a true nature escape without sacrificing comfort, Huttopia Sutton offers ready-to-camp accommodations in the forest, just minutes from the region's main attractions. From the site, you can set out on foot to reach the trails of Mont Sutton or the trail network at Parc d'environnement naturel de Sutton.
