In the snowy heart of the Laurentian Mountains, just 80 miles from Montreal, lies the year-round resort of Mont Tremblant. The area was long-settled by the ancient tribe of the Algonquin, who named it "Manitanga Soutana" - or, mountain of the spirits - and it's easy to see why: the landscape is enchantingly beautiful, filled with lakes and mountains. The town itself is a charming cobblestone affair, lined with buildings reminiscent of Montreal's Old Town, furnished with marigold, red and teal facades and roofs, housing vintage shops, designer boutiques and gourmet restaurants, and this central area is where you'll find many of the best places to stay in Mont Tremblant.
Winter sports like skiing and dog-sledding are big here; the resort sits in an area of over 662 acres of pistes and boasts one of the best ski schools in North America. But once the snows have melted, there are golf courses, hiking and biking trails, canoeing on the lakes and many more outdoors pursuits.
A great centre for winter or summer sports the resort makes for a wonderful family holiday destination. But if you want to guarantee a room in one of the best places to stay in Mont Tremblant during the busy peak seasons, you'll need to get organised and book well ahead.
