Why choose a trail at Rougemont Mount?
Mont Rougemont is part of the magnificent Monteregian Mountains of south-central Quebec. It is composed of red rocks and cracks. The summit is 365 m above sea level, with a long narrow valley below. The side of the mountain is dominated by a lush pine forest.
Mont Rougemont is a hill of volcanic origin located in southwestern Quebec, in the Montérégie region.
One of the reasons why Mont Rougemont is famous, is the gourmet hike, which can be practiced all year round. Here the agricultural production is indeed very famous (apple orchards, vineyards, maple syrup production...) and the owners of the land often allow hikers to cross them. In this way, one can combine the pleasures of hiking with the interest in good local products!
It is still necessary to re-learn before choosing a trail, since many have been privatized because of the rudeness of some tourists.
