Saint-Jean-de-Matha is the village where Louis Cyr, who was the strongest man in the world in the late 19th century, spent his final years. An interpretation center commemorates his feats. This is where the foothills begin. In the distance, you can see Le Pain de Sucre mountain, near Lac Noir. To get the best view from above—as far as possible, all the way to Montreal—stop at the Auberge de la Montagne Coupée lookout: the view is breathtaking! You can enjoy an exhilarating experience at the snow tubing park, Super Glissades Saint-Jean-de-Matha, and at one of North America’s largest cross-country ski centers, Ski Montagne-Coupée. Golf, fine dining, and more.
