Looking for family activities in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts that will delight toddlers, teens and even the parents? You're in the right place. Nestled in the heart of the Laurentians, steps from Lac des Sables and about twenty minutes from Mont-Tremblant, Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts is a destination tailor-made for families.

From Hôtel Terra Laurentides, everything is within easy reach: indoor swimming, the beach in summer, the bike trail, the village and its cafés, and a region that reinvents itself with every season. Here are 15 practical ideas to fill your stay, rain or shine.

At the hotel, without even stepping outside

Some of the best activities are right under your own roof. Our younger guests have a clear preference for what happens indoors, especially when the weather refuses to cooperate.

1. The heated indoor pool, open year-round. Whatever the season, it lets the kids burn off energy while you relax at the water's edge. Hours are posted at the front desk.

2. The 21-metre indoor spiral waterslide. Standing nearly 5 metres tall, it lands in a shallow pool designed with families in mind. It's the kids' favourite attraction, and they go back down one run after another.

3. The whirlpool. While the little ones slide, the parents unwind. Access to the pool, waterslide and whirlpool is reserved for our guests and included with every stay. Want all the details? Check out our pool and waterslide section.

4. A cozy evening in a family room. Our suites with bunk beds are a hit with kids, and the included continental breakfast the next morning gets the day off to a great start.

Lac des Sables and the village, just steps away

Sainte-Agathe grew up around its lake, and the whole village is walkable. That's one of the big advantages when you're wondering what to do in Sainte-Agathe with the family: distances are short and everything happens stress-free.

5. The Lac des Sables beach. In summer, it's the go-to spot for families: supervised swimming, sand and calm water for the little ones. To plan ahead, read our guide to Lac des Sables with kids.

6. A boat outing on the lake. A cruise shows you Sainte-Agathe from a whole new angle, and kids love feeling the wind on deck.

7. Cycling on the P'tit Train du Nord trail. This famous bike path runs right by the hotel. Its flat, safe route is perfect for young cyclists and strollers alike.

8. Strolling through the village. Cafés, patios and, in summer, the public market: a simple walk becomes an activity in itself. Ask the front desk for their favourite spots.

9. A family food break. Crêperie, pizzeria or local snack bar, the village has plenty to please young appetites. Our team will be happy to suggest a place that suits your crew.
