Tremblant offers some of the best skiing in eastern Canada,
with a master-planned village that feels cut from Europe—or at least
the old quarter of Quebec City. With the first lift opening here in
1939, Tremblant was one of the first ski areas in North America, though
the 18th-century French Alps-styled village at the base of its lifts
wasn’t built until the 1990s. Fortunately, Tremblant did it right, with
hotels, patisseries, and bistros packed into colorful multistory
buildings that overlook narrow cobbled streets and squares. Underground
parking means the entire village is car-free, making for an inviting,
old-world environment.
The original hamlet of Mont-Tremblant, only
three miles from the mountain, makes for a mellower experience. Its
smattering of hotels, hostels, and restaurants are a good option for
people looking to get away from the bustling, slightly Disney-fied
ambience of the resort.
