Ski: Voted North East America's #1 ski resort for the ninth consecutive year, Mont Tremblant boasts a network of 94 runs on 660 acres with a longest run of 6km. If downhill skiing is not for you then the network of cross-country ski trails is a great way to see the spectacular scenery of the National Park and beyond, or just strap on some snowshoes and make your own trails. With 12 lifts, there is something to challenge novice or expert alike - the South side features nice, long, green runs, and a good selection of blues and some blacks. The North side is tougher, with the demanding Expo, a double-black, underneath the lift. There are two snowboard parks. Between Montreal and Tremblant are several smaller resorts, and you may want to visit Mont-Saint-Sauveur, whose well-lit slopes make it the 'Night skiing capital of North America'. Closer to Tremblant is Mont Blanc, with its snow park and 39 downhill runs. Set on a lake is Gray Rocks, with a fine reputation for teaching.

Golf: From May to October, Tremblant is a golfer’s paradise, with 8 championship golf courses within a 20 minute drive of the cabin, and 12 further courses close by. The reasonable Green fees, well priced pro-shops, uncrowded fairways, distinct topography and unique challenges of each course ensure you’ll get the most out of your golf game, whether you are a budding amateur or a perfecting pro. The 4.5 star rated Le Geant or Golf Magazine’s Silver Medal winning L’Esterel will, in particular, challenge all levels and experience - although those really wanting to throw down the guantlet may wish to attempt Le Diable (The Devil) with its never ending 600-yard par 5. There are a selection of respected golfing academies nearby which will allow you to brush up on your game and improve your handicap, and all in the most beautiful settings imaginable. With sweeping vistas, panoramic views and several of the courses traversing rivers as they carve their way through the mountains, Tremblant is your golfing nirvana.
