Tremblant
Mont-Tremblant, Quebec Canada

It takes a mere 90 minutes to drive from Montreal's Dorval airport to Tremblant. The scenic road winds through the Laurentian Mountains toward what is best known as North America's second oldest ski resort. But in summer and fall, grass covers the slopes, which funnel down through green forests to an animated alpine village crammed with shops, restaurants, pubs, hotels, and condominiums.

That pedestrian village is the centerpiece of the resort in all seasons of the year, of course, but it seems especially lively in summer, when street theater and concerts take place on its plazas and vacationers throng its outdoor cafes. Although the ski resort itself dates to the late 1930s, most of this development has occurred over the last decade after Intrawest acquired the resort and invested some $800 million Canadian dollars in its enhancement.

That development included a new Beach & Tennis Club on the shores of Lake Tremblant. This attractive complex has 13 clay courts, some of them just steps from the beach. André Lemaire oversees the facility. His staff offers a range of programs, from group and private lessons to clinics, junior day camps, and occasional tournaments (Pro Shop: 819-681-5959).

Tennis aside, there is an abundance of other recreation. Intrawest added two golf courses at the resort, supplementing those at nearby Gray Rocks. Couple that with such other traditional Laurentian Mountain activities as horseback riding, hiking, rock climbing, fishing, watersports on the lake, and more than 100 miles of mountain-bike trails and you have the recipe for a complete vacation in one place.

Here's what others have had to say about Tremblant.

"My wife and I both took an hour and half lesson with Andre Lemaire. I've taken lessons from over 25 tennis pro's over the years. Andre is the best. I think of him as Yoda was to Luke in Star Wars. He is Yoda. He will have you do various drills to expose weakness in your game. He then has a very quick sucessful solution.
I'm a 4.5 USTA and the tricks I learned from Andre I will always remember. My wife had the same experience. The other pro's there are great. I like the red clay courts better than the green clay."—E.M., Adv., July 2008
