Hotels in Magog, Quebec

A little about Magog...

Magog is a small city in southeastern Quebec, Canada at the confluence of Lac Memphrémagog, with the Rivière au Saumon and the Magog River in the Regional County Municipality of Memphrémagog. In 2002 the City of Magog was merged with the Township of Magog and the Village of Omerville as part of the municipal reorganization in Quebec.

For several generations it was a one-industry textile manufacturing town, where Texmade linens were produced. While the main plant is still there, Magog has become the centre of a resort area, with shops and services catering to vacationers and tourists.

According to the 2001 Statistics Canada Census, the population of the reorganized Magog would be 22,474.

Mount Orford (French: Mont Orford) is a ski resort in the Eastern Townships region of the Canadian province of Quebec, Canada. It is a few minutes away from the town of Magog and one hour from Montreal.

The ski resort consists of three summits: Mont Giroux, Mont Orford and Mont Alfred Desrochers, and four sides. It is the home mountain of Olympic medalist Nicolas Fontaine, and there is a glade named in his honour. The main summit, Orford, is served by a $6.5 million "Hybrid Chairlift" or Telemix. This means that on one single cable, instead of only gondolas or only chairs, there are both 8-person gondolas and 6-person chairs. This system is rather common in Europe, but it was the first of its kind in North America.
