Summer in Sutton is best lived with your feet in the water, the wind in your face, and an ice cream cone in hand.
Here are 6 ideas for making the most of the season — beautifully, and keeping cool!
Float down the Missisquoi River
On a scorching hot day, a trip down the Missisquoi River, which winds through the region between Mansonville and Glen Sutton, is just what the doctor ordered! Whether with Canoë & Co, O'Kataventure, or Au Diable Vert, you'll find several ways to drift along this calm-water river: by paddleboard, kayak, or inner tube. A personal favourite for the stunning mountain scenery you can soak in at your leisure — feet dangling in the water!
Feel the wind on the giant zip line
With speeds of up to 100 km/h, the giant zipline at Mont Sutton will give you a rush of adrenaline and a blast of fresh air! This treetop descent is the most steeply inclined in Canada. Breathtaking panoramas and a feeling of pure freedom included.
Hike in the shade of the forest canopy
The Village-montagne trail and the paths of the Sutton natural environment park offer cool, shaded relief on sweltering days, with tree cover and refreshing water features along the way. Throughout the Village-montagne trail, you'll find plenty of spots to dip your toes or take a full plunge into the clear, cool water.
Treat yourself to a cone at Snöbol Bar à glaces
For a refined frozen treat, head to Snöbol on rue Principale in the heart of Sutton. Cool off with hard or soft-serve ice cream, a fresh fruit sorbet, or a homemade waffle topped with your choice of ice cream and coulis. Best enjoyed in the shade on the creamery's large terrace. Psst, vegan options are available too!
Take a dip at a hotel or inn pool
If you're staying at Huttopia Sutton, Le Montagnard, Domaine Tomali-Maniatyn, or Auberge West-Brome, you'll have access to their outdoor pool set in nature. For everyone else, the municipal pool at Parc Goyette-Hill — complete with splash pad — is open to all, not just Sutton residents. So why not make a splash?
Shred the mountain bike trails and ride back up by chairlift
Cooling off by flying down the mountain bike trails at Mont Sutton? Yes. Riding the chairlift back up to save your legs and energy? Even better! Whether you're a beginner or an expert, the trail network offers routes for every level, all sheltered under a forest canopy that naturally blocks out the heat.
