CIME Haut-Richelieu, mont Saint-Gregoire

Rising above the flat agricultural land that surrounds the Richelieu River, is mont Saint-Grégoire, one of the monteregian hills that are characteristic of the region’s landscape. This intrusion was formed 125 millions years ago as hot magma pushed its way into the earth’s crust. Years of erosion have allowed the igneous rocks massif to become exposed. Nowadays, mont Saint-Grégoire is recognized for the richness of its natural environment and its magnificent panorama. Recreational Opportunities
