Airstreams near Sutton with hiking

A historic mountain village, Sutton offers easy access to ski hills, parks, hiking and biking trails, and the varied delights of the Eastern Townships. Pending when you visit, stroll Sutton's summer arts festival, enjoy the bounty of fall, or hit the slopes for top-tier skiing.

The best time to visit Sutton depends on what you want to do. Ski season is especially busy in the village, while July and August can also get crowded at the Eastern Townships' lakes and rivers. Spring can be a bit unpredictable, and fall is gorgeous, as the leaves of the sugar maples turn red and gold.

• The village is very walkable, but getting around to explore the area without a vehicle is very tricky, if not impossible. Bike routes offer another mode of transportation aside from a car.
• Most people working in tourism around Sutton are fluent in English, but this isn’t always the case, so it can be useful to have a translation app ready to go on your phone. 
• Cell reception is usually good in Sutton, but it can get patchy or nonexistent once you venture out into the parks.
• A couple of EV charging stations are available in and around the village.
