Mont-Laurier blends small-city convenience with big-nature adventure, anchored by the Rivière du Lièvre and framed by forests, lakes, and winding hills. A key hub of the Laurentides, it offers straightforward access along Route 117 to weekend favorites like Mont-Tremblant and the urban amenities of Gatineau, while maintaining its own strong identity and year-round energy. Downtown brings together local eateries, outfitters, and services, and the community calendar moves smoothly from summer festivals to winter carnivals.
Outdoorsy households thrive here. Cyclists and skiers cruise the Parc linéaire Le P’tit Train du Nord, a scenic corridor that doubles as a commuter-friendly path between villages. Just north, the vast Parc régional Montagne du Diable delivers hiking, fat-biking, paddling, and backcountry feel within a short drive. Lakeside cottages, snowmobile routes, and nearby ZECs make weekend plans easy, whether you’re chasing first tracks or a quiet sunrise paddle.
Families value education and healthcare close to home. Local schools are served by the Centre de services scolaire Pierre-Neveu, with vocational training and adult education options, while the Hôpital de Mont‑Laurier anchors regional healthcare. Cultural life revolves around community venues, markets, and recreation programs coordinated by Mont-Laurier, making it easy to plug in quickly.
