Tremblant is a world famous resort town in Quebec, Canada. It is a lively, Disney-esque mountainside pedestrian village in the Laurentian Mountains (elevation 2871 feet or 875 m). Tremblant vacations have something for every kind of tourist; from the most active to the visitor who needs some serious R&R.
Personally, what I love about Tremblant, is that I can hike for 5 hours in the wilderness, relax in an outdoor hot tub, eat in a 5 star restaurant and then listen to live music on the outdoor live stage (all in the same day). That is the magic of Mont Tremblant.
