Mont Cascades Canada

Mont Cascades Resort is located on the eastern shore of the Gatineau River in Quebec, Canada, approximately 20 minutes north of downtown Ottawa. In January 2010, Ecosign prepared a Resort Area Master Plan which provides a definitive guideline for the continuing renovation and future development of the resort.

The ski resort will ultimately include a total of eight ski lifts, a learning centre with five moving carpets, and a pulse gondola/cabriolet to transport guests from the day skier centre at the base of the mountain to the upper accommodation area. At buildout, these lifts will accommodate approximately 4,350 skiers per day and cover approximately 48 hectares of ski trails. 

The four-season recreation plan was part of the Resort Area Master Plan that was completed in 2010. The master plan vision is to create a resort with full time residents and second homeowners, including a new commercial village development and four-season recreational facilities. The master plan proposes an expansion of the ski terrain and a full summer recreation plan that complements the existing water park. 

Making use of the existing lift infrastructure, summer recreation amenities proposed include a summer luge track, downhill mountain biking, lift accessed hiking, sightseeing and evening access to the mountain top for dinners and events.
