Clermont (Quebec)

Mountain (summit 239 m) located on the west bank of the Malbaie River, on the north side of downtown Clermont. A path provides access to the summit where an iron cross has been erected there. At the top, interpretation panels inform visitors about the heritage, culture, traditions of the inhabitants of this sector, forestry and history, in particular about the "Pays de Menaud" (Mgr Félix-Antoine Savard). Panorama observation lookouts, installed in the mountain, give a superb view of the city of Clermont, the valley of the Malbaie River, the mountains of Charlevoix and the St. Lawrence River, if the weather is clear. This mountain of the cross has been listed in the Quebec Cultural Heritage Register.
