French romance and Canadian joie de vivre, combined with classy North American service standards equals Mont Tremblant, Quebec and Eastern Canada's best-known and best loved ski resort. Recent undergone a facelift, Mont Tremblant has further "plastic surgery" in the pipeline to further improve and add more luxury spa hotels to accomodate the streams of eager travellers heading for its ski slopes.
Open since 1939, Mont Tremblant was the first ski resort to open in Canada and the second in North America. It`s highly accessible too, a short hour drive away from Montreal.
