St-Sauveur is well known for its local ski areas, the biggest of which is
Mont Saint-Sauveur. The ski areas market themselves jointly under the name of "Valley of Saint-Sauveur". Its proximity to Montreal, as well as its
snow-making capability, night-time
skiing, and
après-ski establishments make St-Sauveur a popular destination for skiers.
On September 11, 2002 the city was created from the merger of the village of Saint-Sauveur-des-Monts and the parish municipality of Saint-Sauveur.
