Rigaud rewards everyday life with a rare mix of mountain energy and village warmth. Weekends often begin on the slopes at Mont Rigaud, where night skiing stretches the season and the smiles, and end with maple taffy at the storied Sucrerie de la Montagne. Between the Ottawa River and the forested ridge, residents hike, bike, snowshoe, and birdwatch on the town’s extensive L’Escapade trail network, then tackle treetop courses at Arbraska Rigaud for an extra shot of adrenaline. The historic core adds cafés and local shops to the picture, while the Town of Rigaud keeps a full calendar of community events and recreation programs.
Families appreciate strong education options. Collège Bourget anchors academics on the mountain’s flank, complemented by neighborhood elementary schools and English-language pathways through the Lester B. Pearson School Board, including nearby Westwood High School. Commuters head to Vaudreuil-Dorion or Hudson for the exo Vaudreuil–Hudson line, putting downtown Montreal within practical reach, while daily needs are covered in town or in close-by Saint-Lazare.
Outdoor-minded, culture-curious, and community-focused, Rigaud makes it easy to trade screen time for starlight, and errands for a chairlift or a forest walk. Explore municipal services and activities through the Town of Rigaud, plan your next ski day at Mont Rigaud, test your limits at Arbraska Rigaud, or book an authentic sugar shack feast at Sucrerie de la Montagne.
