Tremblant

The Laurentian Mountains are home to more than some of the world's oldest rock formations (pre-Cambian era); they contain some of Quebec's best alpine venues, like the Tremblant ski area. Sitting 80 miles northwest of Montreal, the year-round facility is part of the Mont-Tremblant National Park. A pedestrian village and one of the tallest peaks in the Laurentian Mountains range make this location a popular winter attraction for skiers and snowboarders in the southern part of the Province.

Motorists will use Autoroute 15 to drive northwest of Montreal. A transfer to Route 117 will place drivers in town and at the resort just north. Americans have access to several roadways entering Quebec, but I-87 north from Champlain, New York, is one of the most direct. Visitors flying into this part of the Province will likely use the Montreal–Trudeau International Airport.
