Accomodation Saint-Jean-de-Matha

Auberge de la Montagne Coupée

The Montagne Coupée (Cut Mountain) is easily recognisable for the scar it bares. An invisible and powerful hand sliced, from the summit half ways down and discarded the immense bloc at its base along L'Assomption River; from where was named The Cut Mountain (Montagne Coupée). Located in the beautiful region of Lanaudière, only an hour drive from Montreal, this lodge roosted in the crown of the mountain invites you to a body and soul awakening in the cosy comfort of one of its 48 rooms and suites. What would you say to curling up around a fireplace after enjoying a fine gastronomic dinner served in our convivial dinning room? Pursuing the same line of calm and serenity, an indulgence in our health spa or a refreshing dip in the indoor pool are completely suitable. The Montagne Coupée recommends a multitude of activities throughout the year. Should you be a cross-country ski lover, a snowmobile fanatic, a horseback rider in the making, a golfer or simply a passionate disciple of nature in its finest, you have the choice of selection. We wish you a most enjoyable stay in this peace haven erected just for you on this enchanted mountain.
