Here's what others have had to say about Tremblant.
"Strengths: Red Clay courts, good pros (very helpfull), on the beach by the village (village had lots of activities), my game improved a lot. Village accomodations were great too.
Weakness: None."—J.H., Adv. Int., July 2009
Rate Tremblant
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.
