Sutton is a small, walkable village in Quebec's Eastern Townships, tight against the Sutton mountains. Rue Principale has cafés, galleries and a Saturday market; just above town, the Parc d'environnement naturel de Sutton (Parc Sutton) maintains more than 50 kilometres of trails to lakes, ridges and Round Top.
Mont Sutton is a glade-skiing mountain that also opens for hiking and biking in the warmer months. A few minutes toward the border, Au Diable Vert sits on a hillside above the Missisquoi River in Glen Sutton, with hiking, paddling and unusual lodging.
