Sautauriski Mountain

Sautauriski Mountain, a 727-metre peak in the southern part of Jacques-Cartier National Park north of Québec City, rises between the Jacques-Cartier and Sautauriski rivers, whose valleys shape its steep eastern and southwestern cliffs and broader northern approach. Formerly called Mont des Loups, it is closely associated with the popular Les Loups trail, which climbs 452 metres through forest to lookouts over the Jacques-Cartier River and the surrounding Laurentian landscape before reaching the summit. The mountain’s name comes from the nearby river, and Montagne de la Sautauriski was formally recognized on August 2, 1974. In autumn, especially from September to Thanksgiving, it attracts heavy visitor traffic for its fall colors.
