Nature
Mont Shefford, in Quebec’s Estrie region, is a 526-metre Monteregian Hill that stands prominently above the landscape of southern Quebec. It began forming about 125 million years ago when magma intruded underground but cooled before reaching the surface. Over time, glaciers and erosion stripped away the surrounding sedimentary rock, exposing the harder metamorphic rock created where the magma met older layers. In more recent times, the mountain became known for the Ski Shefford resort, which closed in 2006. Mont Shefford remains an important natural landmark, valued for its distinctive geology and its place among the Monteregian Hills.
