Whether you’re looking for a job that’s permanent or seasonal, full-time or part-time, working with the public or more technical, les Sommets offers you a wide range of possibilities – and always a unique experience.
The history of skiing in Quebec begins at Saint-Sauveur-des-Monts, in the Laurentians, where the first North American ski lift was installed.
This resort embodies the family, ambition, innovation and passion that have shaped it. Founded by Jacques G. Hébert in the 1970s, the resort, named Mont Saint-Sauveur, strengthened the link between the village and the mountains. With the arrival of Louis Dufour, a passionate skier, the resort expanded.
In October 2016, the Hébert and Dufour families transformed the company into les Sommets, with five ski resorts, a Water Park and unique activities.
It's with great pride that les Sommets has been holding the prestigious Conversion Cup Challenge since May 2019, after placing among the finalists two years running. Awarded annually by the NSAA (National Ski Area Association), this cup highlights the efforts made by ski resorts in North America to convert neophytes into snow sports enthusiasts.
