About Mont Tremblant ski and golf resort
Mont Tremblant is second to none east of the Rockies and has been booming for several years now. Owners of the mountain are in the process of expanding the north face and soon a government casino will be up and running at the base. Only 90 minutes from Montreal's Trudeau airport, served by frequent flights from several UK and European cities, Tremblant has it all and appeals to the jet set as well as families looking for a natural escape in comfort.
Occupancy rates are high in Tremblant due to the long ski season, popular summer season and of course, the colours of autumn. Located in the Laurentians, an ancient mountain range, rounded down through the millenia by glaciers, the area is blessed with hundreds of lakes - ideal for ice skating in the winter and boating or swimming in the summer.

Then comes the summer's main event, which draws huge crowds year after year: Tremblant's International Blues Festival in July.
Once again, spectators will be amazed by the line-up of known and renowned artists, making this event a summer staple. The fun continues with Tremblant Beneath the Stars in mid-August and music-filled weekends in September, not to mention the many outdoor concerts given every weekend throughout the summer.
