Owl’s Head is a four-season destination in Mansonville, in the Eastern Townships, where the mountain becomes a natural playground for outdoor enthusiasts in both summer and winter. With panoramic views of Lake Memphremagog and the surrounding Eastern Townships, the site offers a variety of experiences for active travellers, families, couples and anyone looking to spend time in nature.
In winter, Owl’s Head becomes a destination for snow sports. Alpine skiing, snowboarding, off-piste skiing, alpine touring and snow parks give skiers and snowboarders of different experience levels plenty of ways to enjoy the mountain. The ski school also offers lessons for children and adults, while on-site equipment rentals make planning a day on the slopes easy.
When warmer weather arrives, the mountain takes on a completely different character. Hiking trails lead through the natural landscape and toward areas with beautiful viewpoints.
