Theme parks! Imitation mountains covered with imitation snow;
places to eat serving food that just might taste almost like
you're eating in a quaint, foreign restaurant, picturesque
little fake villages that are supposed to resemble picturesque
little real villages; hotels built around man-made lakes. Sure
they're fun for the whole family but why settle for "fake" or
"imitation" or "almost like" when you can have the real thing!
Mont-Tremblant Resort located just eighty minutes by air
(gate-to-gate) from Newark Airport to the Mont-Tremblant
International Airport, is the ideal, four-season family
playground with a real village, real mountains with real snow,
real lakes for water sports or ice skating, real quaint
restaurants, a real gondola riding over real trees. And there
are no long, hot boring lines to stand in while waiting to have
real fun.
Every season of the year Tremblant located just north of
Montreal and nestled in the majestic Laurentian Mountains
provides non-stop activities for all ages. Mountain biking,
hiking, horse riding, water sports and of course golfing on
world class courses or mini-courses are just some of the many
ways to fill up delightfully warm summer days. There is always
something happening in the European style village...festivals,
wine-tasting, shops that sell more than dispensable souvenirs,
and entertainment.
In the fall the Laurentians put on a majestic show when the
trees change to their autumn foliage. Tremblant celebrates this
with its annual "Symphony of Colours". To truly enjoy this
spectacle, just take the gondola up the mountain. Don't forget
your camera as this is one of the most spectacular fall displays
in Eastern North America.
In winter, from late November to late April (and sometimes even
into May), the Laurentians become blanketed with real snow and
Tremblant truly shines as a premiere ski resort. Ice climbing,
cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, horse riding, sleigh rides,
and so much more keep the whole family on the go all day long.
In the evening, Tremblant also offers the best après-ski and
nightlife to help you unwind. There are child care services and
baby sitting for the little ones. Parents can safely leave
children in the care of responsible, trained supervisors who
provide organized activities, light snacks and arts and crafts.
To insure your vacation in the Mount-Tremblant region will be
memorable for many years to come, book reservations at the areas
newest and only "Small Luxury Hotels of the World", all-suite
resort hotel, Chateau Beauvallon
(http://www.chateaubeauvallon.com). Inspired by the local
architecture with its quaint exterior of gables, porches,
shutters and comfortable, country chick interiors, every visitor
will find a haven from the fun-filled, activity rich days. And
here, everything is real including the lake and the magnificent
Laurentian mountain vistas!
