Exceptional service and top marks for cleanliness! Maintenance came by within minutes of a request for a campsite issue we had with an old retaining wall rebar post sticking up. Friendly gentleman took care of it. Bike trails are well kept and maintained to high standards for fast flowing beginner to fully equipped expert downhill mountain biking (Th to Su). A couple of new trails have been added up top, and you can park up there or grind it out climbing on the access road when lifts are closed (Mo to We) 👌 Well done, Sugarloaf.

Worthwhile Visit To The Sugarloaf Top! Our 2 families stopped by this park in the summer of 2019 during our Maritime's trip. Although we didn't have much time to cover the entire park, we came here specifically to climb to the top of the mountain. It was a challenging and rigorous climb, but the scenic lookout made it worthwhile. The last 300m were quite treacherous so it is recommended to wear hiking boots (myself I almost twisted my ankle). Otherwise highly recommended!

Great slopes and snow, please add bins at the end of the lift, people drop bottles from the lift. No signs for a queue for pass, and rental, a bit disorganized as well as the quick service for drinks (30mn) to get a bottle. Please contact some other resorts like Courchevel, Méribel, les Menuires, Val Thorens to improve efficiency and revenue

Nice park to come visit during the Fall to see the change of colours on the trees. Drove up as far as we could and did a small walk to panorama viewpoint although there wasn't much of a view for to the trees blocking the view. Went in the direction of the signs for the chairlift and got a slightly better view but not the best.

Awesome hike to the summit of Sugarloaf Mountain! Nice panoramic view from the top. Hike not so easy, use prudence when hiking
