TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Mont-Avalanche.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Mont-Avalanche is a ski area in Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard; Les Pays-d'en-Haut, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Mont-Avalanche is located at 45.9703°N, 74.3466°W.
Mont-Avalanche rises with a stoic, granite-shouldered presence within the Le Calvaire, defining the rugged horizon of Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard. It lies 25.6 km south-east of Mont-Tremblant, QC (from Mont-Tremblant, QC: bearing 130°T), and is situated 9.9 km south-south-west of Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts. The air here holds a sharp, clean clarity that deepens as the sun dips behind the slopes, casting long, violet shadows across the dense timber. Nearby, Lac Bois Franc sits in a quiet basin, its surface mirroring the stillness of the surrounding forest, while the distant, winding path of the Rivière du Nord draws a faint, silver thread through the wider landscape. The earth feels firm and ancient beneath the boots of those who traverse its incline, marked by the persistent, bracing chill that defines the transition of the seasons. The history of Mont-Avalanche resides in the steady endurance of those who have long sought refuge and recreation among these slopes. Local life maintains a focused vitality, shaped by the demands of the terrain and a shared inclination toward the outdoors, whether through the seasonal demands of the ski slopes or the quieter pursuits of the off-season. While Chutes de Lakeview lies further afield, its presence echoes in the collective consciousness of the region, grounding the local identity in the movement of water and the permanence of stone. Mont-Avalanche serves as a central anchor for the inhabitants of Les Pays-d'en-Haut, offering a vertical reprieve where the pace of the day is measured by the changing light upon the ridge rather than the ticking of a clock.
Mont-Avalanche se dresse avec une dignité austère au sein du relief accidenté du Calvaire, imposant sa silhouette aux promeneurs qui cherchent le silence dans les hauteurs. À peine à un kilomètre de distance, la surface immobile du Lac Bois Franc capte les dernières lueurs d’un jour déclinant, renvoyant un éclat d’étain sur les pentes boisées qui entourent le site. L’air, empreint d’une fraîcheur vive propre à ces latitudes, porte en lui le souvenir des premières familles venues défricher ces terres escarpées pour y bâtir une existence rude, façonnée par la rigueur du climat et la proximité des sommets. Mont-Avalanche conserve cette allure singulière d’un bastion naturel, protégé par une topographie où chaque repli de terrain raconte la patience des hommes face à une nature exigeante. Tandis que la Rivière du Nord serpente à onze kilomètres de là et que les Chutes de Lakeview grondent à vingt kilomètres, le quotidien ici s'écoule avec une lenteur méditative, rythmée par le changement des frondaisons et le souffle du vent qui descend des crêtes. Cette géographie particulière impose un respect presque sacré, transformant chaque ascension en une quête de clarté où le regard, libéré des plaines, s'attarde sur les nuances changeantes de la lumière glissant sur les roches et les sous-bois.
