★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I choose an easy trail! It’s 10km go and return. It’s hard for children.Yet it’s beautiful! Excellent place!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic views, specially during fall! I wouldn't recommend this for hiking as the trails are wide and made for skiing. We went hiking during summer, but we felt as if it was only a long walk. There are picnic tables along the way. The parc is clean. It's a great place for families.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This park offers some of the best hiking in the Montreal area, with over 80km of trails offering beautiful views of the Eastern Townships. There are 275 campsites here, as well as nature cabins, huts and an architecturally inspiring EXP cabin—located in a sugar bush for maple syrup production—for all-season accommodations. Two beaches make for great lake swimming and there are also facilities for boating, rock climbing and winter sports. Mont-Orford is a natural habitat for the Great Blue Heron, the white-tailed deer and many other species, so wildlife-watchers in particular will have their hands full of binoculars here.
Driving time from Montreal: 1.5 hours

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Took the gondola up, however couldn't see anything through the film on the windows. I guess it was too dark because of the weather. The walk down was nice, as long as you are capable of walking and don't have any injuries you should be fine. Young kids can do it too. We went for the festival of colors. Total time to come down was about 1.5 hours.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome viewpoints at the top. You can hike up there or just take the gondola. Can be very crowded with a nice weather and you can wait more then an hour to go up with the gondola. The parking is big but not free and some people park along the road.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent destination to enjoy a day of Autumn foliage. At 2800 feet, there is a birds eye view on the coniferous zone , Christmas tree near the peak and changes into deciduous forest of different colors. It happened to be a day after heavy rain, it is still very enjoyable to see fogs disappeared into partially cloudy weather. Imagine if it is a totally sunny day.

A nice ski resort with 3 mountains, the tallest Mt. Orford at 850M. On cloudy winter days, ride inside the gondola and you'll feel like you're traveling into the clouds. Yes it's pretty high. It's not as high as some ski resorts, however it's not bad either. It's still a fairly good ski resort if all the lifts and runs are opened. This resort doesn't offer night skiing at time of writing - which isn't a big deal IMO as can get very cold when the sun's down. Lifts close quarter to 4pm. Which may be a bit early for those looking for a longer day. Though on the flip side, you'll have time for showering and going out for dinner.
The base lodge is nice and well laid out. There's a cafeteria, cafe shop and restaurant/bar in the lodge. There are some benches throughout for those who need a rest.
If you get a multi day pass, it offers tremendous value at about $40 per lift ticket.
What's painful is that each day, they require you to get a new lift ticket despite the fact, they give you a multi day card. They should be able to just scan the card without having to line up again for the lift ticket.
What's unique about this resort is that they have a tunnel like enclosed magic carpet. Very nice for the beginners.
On regular lifts they have a moving platform just past the gates. This helps prevent skiers from falling and makes getting on the lift easier.
Overall, a good ski resort with a decent run lengthy. While suitable for all levels of difficulty, I think it's better for those in the intermediate levels.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful mountain with family friendly trails. The 4km trail has scenic views but starts very narrow for a good section before opening up. The green trails have good minimum slope so snowboarders don't get stuck when too flat. The chalet and cafeteria were open for sit in and eating inside, tables have plastic divider. The main lift and gondola are sharing but and wasn't too long the wait. Overall we had a very nice experience there. One thing to improve is the ticket retrieval system which they don't have a self print booth so you'd have to lineup even if you bought online tickets.
