Mont Tremblant brings together a 932 m (3,058 ft) mountain, a national park and a resort town in Quebec. The name refers both to the peak and to the built place below it, with the Laurentian landscape as the common backdrop.

The mountain rises in the Laurentian Mountains and reaches 932 m at its highest point. It sits east of Lake Tremblant and north-east of the town, with the park covering much of the surrounding ground. 932 m mountain

From Joseph Bondurant Ryan to a resort landscape

The town itself was constituted on 22 November 2000 through the merger of four municipalities. That makes the present municipality a relatively recent administrative form, even though settlement in the area goes back much further. constituted in 2000
Mont-Tremblant national park and its long frame
Parc national du Mont-Tremblant was created on 12 January 1895 as a forest reserve, and it is Quebec’s oldest national park designation. The park later expanded far beyond its original area and remains the clearest formal frame for the mountain itself. 12 January 1895
The area has a long human history linked with Algonquin use, forestry and later recreation. Those layers are visible in the coexistence of protected woodland, resort facilities and the town that takes its name from the mountain. Algonquin heritage
