Pretty trails to hike (with permission) over Summer. Wish there were more frequent markings to hike to the ABR trails and to the Montreal river. Very pretty with wildflowers and watch out for possible wildlife. Surreal experience and very unique especially during the quiet summer months. Remember to wear a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses on a hot day because the ski trails are not shielded from the sun. Will come back again. Very lovely!

We had the best time here. It was a great day with sun and blue skies and beautiful well maintained trails. Although the trails are well marked, we managed to take a wrong turn which brought us very far south and lost after dark. Because we could no longer see the trails, we decided to take the road back. When we got back we found the staff looking for us and received we were okay. This was definitely a serious situation that could have turned even worse very quickly and I am glad to find that the staff is extremely caring and prepared to help you if you are in a similar situation. I cannot recommend this place (especially the staff) enough. We will be back - with flashlights and a better sense of direction this time!

Always a joy and amazing skiing every time we head there. With this years snow I've been at ABR a lot, not that I'm complaining because the classic trails are amazing. For sure a must go to if you can, the staff is great, grooming is excellent and trails are a blast to ski on! Can't wait for my next stop up there!
