+ Attractions :

As of 2005, Mont-Tremblant has been recognized by Ski Magazine as the #1 Ski Resort in Eastern North America for 8 consecutive years. The main ski resort offers over 600 acres (2.4 km²) of ski and snowboarding trails in 4 distinct areas The top of the mountain has a chalet and restaurant, Le Grand Manitou, open in the winter and summer. 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. Mont Tremblant has a wide variety of hotel and condo accommodations, many of which are situated in the pedestrian village at the foot of the mountain. There are additional condo accommodations located adjacent to the pedestrian village which are managed by the resort or private rental agencies such as Rendez-Vous Mont-Tremblant. These accommodations feature shuttle bus service which provides guests some of the same convenience afforded to people staying in the pedestrian village. Most accommodations in the resort area are privately owned. The resort or rental agency acts as a rental broker for these properties by handling maintenance, reservations and other guest-related tasks on behalf of the owners. Most of the time the renting visitor is not even aware that this is the case. By using this model Intrawest does not have to keep its capital invested in owning additional real estate with its associated costs.
