Also note that if you buy it online you can save 10% however you have up until the day before you plan to make your purchase. They give you a GoPass which fits in a pocket and must have some kind of chip in it because you can't access the chairlift until you pass through these automatic gates that open when your GoPass is read. The price for rentals is also fair. Since it is a smaller mountain expect fewer runs. They are fairly challenging though which I like. The pitches are tricky for novice skiers like myself. I can't speak for how an experienced skier would find it. I do wish though that they had some longer runs since I do love those quite a bit. The cafeteria is expensive and the food is so so but in my experience this is par for the course at most ski resorts in Quebec. My major complaint is that portions are pretty small. I was still hungry after downing a plate of subpar pasta. I mean come on you've got people doing hours of exercise, they're going to be hungry! Your best bet is to just bring your own lunch especially if you want to eat healthy because the majority of the offerings are things like burgers and fries.

Great ski location for newer skiers! I haven't gone skiing in 6 years and had a great time getting…read moreback into it. I came here on December 28th after having bought a ticket for December 25th. Sadly it was 14 degrees on the 25th so they had to close the hill. Rather than make us reserve for a new date, they allowed all those who had tickets to come on another day without a reservation! They sell a limited number of tickets to ensure proper distancing. You have to reserve a ticket on their website so it is difficult to spontaneously decide to go skiing. Located about 1 hour from Montreal, there is ample parking spots right across the street from the hill. Getting our tickets was easy and the employees were friendly. The bistro was open for takeout but you can't eat inside. We didn't buy anything so I can't comment on that. You can use the bathrooms but must bring a mask (a balaclava/neck warmer does not suffice). When we were there, 7 runs were open and the conditions were good! Almost no lines for the chair lifts and plenty of room to keep your distance. One of the chair lifts doesn't have the metal piece to rest your skis on so your legs kind of just dangle in the air. I felt a bit unsafe on this lift and I think it's due to be replaced! Overall, wonderful day skiing at Sommet Gabriel

Pooh and I stayed here for the first leg of our two week vacation…read more The hotel itself is nice. We had a king bed room and the breakfast buffet and spa were included. We didn't get to the spa but the buffet was delicious and had a lot of variety. Our room had a spacious patio equipped with a table and chairs. It also had a small kitchen with a small fridge and microwave. What we liked were the dining table, dishes and utensils. There is also a sink and extra garbage and recycling bags. The coffee maker is a (wide pod) Nespresso. Two pods daily are included if you want additional pods they are 3$ each. We went to the grocery store and bought a box of pods it was much cheaper. The bathroom was big. It housed a big waterfall type shower and a jacuzzi tub. The toilet is in a separate space in the bathroom. It had a double sink. The water pressure was on point. The tv was big; at least 60" and has outlets for Apple TV or Fire Stick. Both sides of the bed had a big table which we appreciated because we both have CPAPs and we had a fireplace which gave the room added charm. We did try the steak restaurant but will not include it in this review because it was a disappointment.

The beds were AMAZING, not much kitchen ammeneties but what do you expect? Its a hotel. They gave…read moreus complimentary dark chocolate which was good. Size is kinda small though. We couldnt use the TV for 2 days because it had no signal, but the 3rd and 4th day we had it.

Came here for the brunch, it used to be a beautiful lively dining room with an incredible view on the lake. Only in the past years they basically abandoned he project all together... the place is really outdated, needs significant work. Staff is undertrained... out of 6 cups on the table, 1 had lipstick on it the other one was basically previously used. 28$ for brunch, very little choices... again a bad representation of what it used to be... there used to be a huge brunch, a piano man and a singer, a fountain of chocolate, name it. Now nothing... it's too bad. You walk in the hotel and there is nobody at the front desk, gives you an idea... clearly terrible management. And the chairlift that connects the ski resort to the hotel is out of order... I think it's another bad management decision not to fix it... people would be more interested in staying for the night, for a drink, for a meal if the chairlift was still functioning. My 2 cents, invest in the place, make it what it used to be and people will come...

La Sapinière has never disappointed us, but is IS a great big drive from Montreal. We've been going…read morethere for years to celebrate special occasions and the menu is always stellar. The portions are on the small side (obviously) but always satisfying. The main dining room is stunning and overlooks a lake, an amazing view to compliment your meal but if you want to be seated by a window, you should reserve way in advance! They have an excellent wine selection and the dishes are lush. They are beginning to incorporate vegetarian options but overall, expect lots of meat and fish. If you can, try the foie gras, they make it really memorable. My mom did find her quails a bit cold but my veal was to die for. For birthdays, you get glasses of Kir on the house! The staff is really lovely and have made the effort to remember us, which is always appreciated. The recession has struck everyone, and it's nice to see that La Sapinière has tried to adapt: they 3 course table d'hôte is a couple dollars short of $40, the 5-course meal being under $60, an absolute steal (as everything used to be over $80 a couple of years back). Thankfully, they haven't sacrificed quality in any way. The decor is cozy and warm, the hotel was built in the 60s and it still has that slightly retro flavour (carpeted floors, big leather chairs, swiss-chalet style).They try to cater to all sorts of clientele,but I'd say this isn't the most kid-friendly hotel. The bar really stylish and right next to a mahogany pool table and an intimate dance floor. If you feel extra fancy, you can rent you own little bungalow outside the hotel! I would recommend going in winter, I think it's during that time that the Laurentians really shine, the scenery is unbeatable and it makes it the comfort of the place and the food even more worthwhile..

Service 4/5 beauty of facility situated on the lake 4/5 bar/lounge area 3/5 (feels like you are in a 70's lounge) wifi 1/5 (for the week I could never connect in my room and barely in the meeting rooms) The Sapinere works to be a desirable place to stay but alas the place is very old and dated! Service is very good and location in a nice secluded area!
