Mont Tremblant

Winter can be a gloomy time of year, unless, of course, you make the most of it by

participating in the many fantastic activities that only become possible when the snow flies. For

example, building snowmen and igloos, snowshoeing and, of course, skiing and snowboarding.

And doesn’t sitting by your window with a mug of hot chocolate watching snow fall sound

wonderful? What could possibly make that more appealing? Picture this; you were skiing all day

and now you’re cozied up to a roaring fire in a ski lodge, sipping on that hot chocolate. You can

go to the gorgeous Mont Tremblant- and even save money doing it.

Mont Tremblant is located within the Laurentian Mountain range in Quebec, Canada and

is one of the tallest peaks within the mountain range. This mountain and the resort are both part

of the Mont Tremblant National Park and are located near the village of Mont Tremblant. The

name is derived from the Algonquin, who referred to the peak as the “trembling mountain”. A

man by the name of Joseph Bondurant Ryan, a wealthy American, opened the Mont Tremblant

Ski Lodge in 1939 after he and a friend made the taxing hike to the summit and he vowed to

turn the area into a world class ski destination. He most certainly achieved his goal. The area

has a stunning pedestrian village and many activities all year round. The village is a shopping

mecca for skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts because it offers many notable brand stores

that have the highest quality gear for the winter aficionado.

Mont Tremblant itself is more than two thousand eight hundred feet and boasts over

ninety ski and snowboard runs. The runs include fifteen beginner runs, thirty intermediate, thirty-

nine advanced, and ten expert runs, so you get a wonderful variety of terrain in their over six

hundred skiable acres no matter your skill level. It also has eighteen acres of ramps, rails, and

jumps and a high caliber half pipe for the trick lovers. All these features make this mountain a

true playground for people seeking fun and adventure. There are thirteen high tech ski lifts to

take you to the top of the mountain where you can sit in the chalet or grab a bite to eat at their

restaurant before taking off on your skis.

But what about the people who don’t ski or snowboard? Don’t worry, there are plenty of

other unique activities that Mont Tremblant offers you. You can go dogsledding, horseback

riding, ice fishing, ice climbing, tubing, or relax on a sleigh ride, among many other ways to

spend your time visiting Mont Tremblant. The forests surrounding the mountain have

breathtaking snowshoe and cross-country ski trails and there are a variety of spas to relax in as

well. When you travel to Mont Tremblant almost everything you could ever want to do is right

within your grasp.
