The renowned Tremblant Resort
earned the title of the # 1 ski Resort
in Eastern North America by the Ski Magazine readers for the 15th
year in a row. With 95 trails, Tremblant has what it takes to thrill every-
one no matter what their skill level: 19 novice runs, 30 intermediate runs
as well as miles of expert terrain. Tremblant promises an exhilarating
mountain experience for all! This year, Tremblant invested more than
1,5million dollars in snowmaking and grooming equipment. The abun-
dance of natural snow coupled with «Avalanche», North America’s
powerful snowmaking system with its 1037 snow guns, can turn water
into dry snow in an instant for perfect ski and snowboard conditions.
The charming European style of the pedestrian village at the foot of the
mountain will also seduce you! There are numerous quaint boutiques,
bistros and great restaurants on the site. If you are looking for a place
where the nightlife is at its best where you can dance until closing or if
you prefer a good place to talk andmeet people in a casual ambiance,
the resort has it all !
Mont Blanc
is a formidable mountain for skiing and snowboarding with
41 trails spread over 3 peaks; it is the Laurentians 2
nd
highest elevation.
Skiers find Mont Blanc resort fantastic for families not only because of
the friendly terrain but also for the JungleMagic, an indoor playground
heaven for kids for midday breaks or after skiing experience.
Parc national de Mont-Tremblant
It's a rich amalgam of Québec's natural and historic heritages, being
the largest and oldest park in the National Parks network. Nature
lovers, red-cheeked and bundled up in coats, will be amazed to dis-
cover this immense playground and its ice-covered lakes and snow-
covered forests. The backcountry ski network extends over 77 km of
ungroomed and unpatrolled trails and offers you an opportunity to ex-
perience the life of an explorer. After your trek, you can stay in one of
three community huts for 16 to 18 people. Enjoy a candlelit dinner
and take time to appreciate winter in front of a woodburning stove!
