This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mont-Avila, Quebec. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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-Avila.
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-Avila is a ski area in Piedmont; Les Pays-d'en-Haut, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Mont-Avila is located at 45.8833°N, 74.1333°W.
Mont-Avila rises as a prominent feature within the Mont Belvédère, commanding a landscape defined by the persistent, cold currents of the Rivière du Nord. It lies 15.7 km north-west of Saint-Jérôme, QC (from Saint-Jérôme, QC: bearing 320°T), and is situated 2.1 km south-east of Saint-Sauveur. The slopes of Mont-Avila hold a sharp, bracing air that clings to the granite and pine long after the sun has slipped behind the ridgeline. Just a short distance away, the quiet surface of Lac Morin reflects the changing light, offering a stillness that contrasts with the steep, active terrain of the mountain. Here, the land demands a certain resilience from those who move across it, as the winter frost settles deep into the earth and defines the seasonal pulse of the Piedmont landscape. The economy of Mont-Avila has long turned toward the utility of its elevation, transitioning from the early demands of forestry to the specialized requirements of recreation in Les Pays-d'en-Haut. This transition shaped a local character that values the intersection of rugged topography and human effort, where the slopes are groomed for the descent and the valley floor remains a hub for regional activity. Traditions in the region often center on the shifting seasons, with the local life cycle mirroring the opening and closing of the trails that traverse the Mont Belvédère. Even as modern infrastructure touches the base of the mountain, the essential identity of Mont-Avila resides in the way the cold wind sweeps down from the heights, reminding every visitor of the sheer, unyielding scale of the surrounding geography.
Mont-Avila se dresse avec une noblesse tranquille dans le Mont Belvédère, là où la lumière déclinante du soir semble s'attarder plus longuement sur les pentes escarpées. La Rivière du Nord coule en contrebas, un ruban d'eau vive qui scande le relief et dicte le rythme des journées sous le ciel des Pays-d'en-Haut. À peine à un kilomètre de distance, le Lac Morin miroite dans un silence minéral, offrant une étendue paisible qui capte les dernières lueurs du soleil avant que l'ombre ne gagne le vallon. Ce terrain accidenté a longtemps façonné une existence tournée vers les rigueurs du climat, où le travail de la terre a laissé place à une vocation dédiée aux plaisirs de la glisse et à la contemplation des horizons forestiers. Les habitants de Mont-Avila connaissent cette terre par ses nuances de givre et d'écorce, dans une intimité qui se transmet sans bruit, entre les versants du massif et les reflets changeants de l'eau. Ici, chaque montée vers le sommet révèle une vue dégagée sur les vallées environnantes, confirmant que le paysage, loin d'être un décor figé, demeure une présence active qui impose sa mesure à ceux qui choisissent de s'y établir.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
