Mont Tremblant, Quebec is a great place for a second home!

Mont Tremblant Resort is a large year round resort about one and a half hours north of Montreal. It is best known as a ski destination, but also features a lake suitable for swimming, and a golf course in the summer months. The name of the mountain, Mont Tremblant, means "trembling mountain" in French. The summit is at an elevation of 875 m (3,150 feet), which makes it the tallest peak in the Laurentians.

The pedestrian village developed by Intrawest has made Tremblant unique amongst ski resorts in Eastern Canada, due to its pedestrian-only layout, exquisite shopping, nightlife, après-ski scene and slope side accommodations. A well known accommodation is Star Condo Villa which is located directly in the pedestrian village of Mont Tremblant.

A visitor staying in the village can feasibly leave their car parked for the duration of their stay. There is an open gondola-type lift called The Cabriolet which connects the upper and lower parts of the pedestrian village. From the top of this lift the main gondola is available to take skiers to the summit of the mountain.

It is important to note that the pedestrian village within the resort and the original municipal village of Mont-Tremblant, Quebec are two completely separate entities. The resort village is often referred to as "Mont Tremblant", which can lead to confusion.

The surrounding hills and valleys are filled with trails for cross-country skiing. The ski trails connect with other ski trails in neighboring towns, making it possible for nature lovers to undertake ski excursions lasting several days going (or coming from) as far south as Blainville, Quebec on the outskirts of Montreal.

Mont Tremblant is a four-season destination with activities going on during most months. The surrounding valleys have small lakes, dense boreal forests and thousands of vacation cottages. There are also golf courses, hiking trails and small rivers suitable for gentle canoeing and swimming.

There are many trails for mountain bikes and a special "route verte" rail trail paved for road bicycle use. The cycle path was built on an abandoned right of way of the Montreal-Mont Laurier railway, so the cyclists do not have to share the path with motorized vehicles.

The area also features a race track called Circuit Mont-Tremblant. It once hosted IndyCar, Formula One, Can-Am, Trans-Am competitions and currently hosts the Grand-Am Cup. In 2007, the track is due to host a round of the Champ Car World Series.
