 Mont
Tremblant, Quebec - Tremblant is Eastern Canada's
best known resort and has been since 1939. The first resort
to open in Canada and the second in North America, it is
located in the picturesque scenery of the Laurentian Forest,
an easy drive from Montreal.
Since being purchased by the Canadian
resort development company Intrawest in 1992, Tremblant
has been virtually rebuilt from scratch and has benefited
from a 10 year investment program totalling almost 1 billion
Canadian dollars. This has transformed the old 'Mont Tremblant'
in to a 'four season destination resort ' with a brilliantly
designed pedestrian center, successfully themed in traditional
Quebec architectural style, including smoothly cobbled streets.
Every part of the holiday experience has
been carefully considered and designed into the new Tremblant.
Essentially everything you need is there, and more, and
it's all a short walk from your accommodation - whether
you are heading into the resort or onto the lifts and up
the mountain. Add to that the unique atmosphere of this
part of North America, where French Canadian "joie
de vivre" meets North American service and value standards,
and the result is one of the world's best mountain resorts.
