Mont Tremblant Ski Resort (commonly referred to as Tremblant) is a year-round resort in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec, Canada, located about 130 km (80 mi) northwest of Montreal. It is best known as a ski destination, but also features Lake Tremblant suitable for swimming and two golf courses in the summer months. The name of the mountain, Mont Tremblant, was derived from the Algonquin indigenous people, who called it the "trembling mountain."[1] The summit is at an elevation of 875 m (2,871 ft), which makes it one of the tallest peaks in the Laurentians. One km north of the principal down hill area is the Edge, an area of glade skiing and 2.8 km (1.7 mi) north of that is the true summit, Pic Johanssen (932 m (3,058 ft)), which has a trail over the top and is Black Diamond for skiers and boarders. The resort is owned by Alterra Mountain Company.
The mountain and resort are part of the Mont-Tremblant National Park and are both located near the village of Mont-Tremblant.
Mont Tremblant Ski Resort has consistently been ranked the #1 ski resort in Eastern North America with a ski area of over 654 acres.[2]
