Tremblant is called the premier
European Resort in North America. There are over 600 acres
to ski and ride on; 121 acers of glades. The Duncan Express
will take you to the top of the North Side in 9 minutes; the
8 passenger gondola operates on the South Side. From the opening
celebrations at Gravity Park to the Ericsson World Cup Freestyle
championships, from BBQs on the mountain to live bands in
the pedestrian resort, there's always something exciting going
on at Tremblant. 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.
