Located in the beautiful Laurentian Mountains, just north of Montreal,
Mont Tremblant offers the perfect setting for winter vacations and summer escapes. During the summer, the area fills with those interested in mountain biking, hiking, golfing on world-class courses, or perhaps a rafting trip on the nearby Rouge River. In winter, from late November to late April (and sometimes even into May), the Laurentians become blanketed with snow and Tremblant truly shines as the premiere ski resort in eastern North America with three separate ski or snowboarding areas. There is also the chance to go ice climbing, cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. As one of the top ski areas in Canada, Tremblant also offers the best apres-ski and nightlife to help you unwind.
Montreal is also a one-of-a-kind multicultural city that blends its French accent with that of over 80 other ethnic communities and charms visitors with its Euro-American ambiance. Innovative and invigorating, the city offers a whirlwind of cultural creations, both traditional and modern. Its downtown bustles with life at the foot of its mountain, while history is rooted in the old quarters near the river. With its year-round party atmosphere, Montreal hosts many great festivals: jazz, comedy, cinema, fireworks and more! The city beckons you to discover its fashionable boutiques and famed cuisine, over 30 km of indoor pedestrian walkways, and its lively casino. Stroll through its colourful streets and typical neighbourhoods representative of a mosaic of nations; take a ride along one of its many bicycle paths; or party in one (or more) of its inviting bars.
In the old part of the city, ride in a horse-drawn carriage around the 18th- and 19th-century residences, visit the imposing neo-gothic Notre-Dame Basilica, as well as museums that recount the past, such as the Pointe-à-Calliere museum and the Centre d'Histoire de Montreal. The Old Port invites you to relax all year round. Among its attractions, you will find the Montréal Science Centre, a vast complex dedicated to scientific culture that also includes an IMAX theatre. The Old Port is also the starting point for trips along the turbulent Lachine Rapids, at the western end of the island.
