The Laurentians Region
Ever since North America's first snow train brought enthusiastic skiers here
in 1927, the Laurentians has been well known as a winter sports playground.
Less than an hour's drive northwest of Montreal, the Laurentides, as they
are known in French, offer 14 alpine ski areas, each with their own, distinct
character.
From the old world, quiet dignified ambiance of Le Chantecler to the nonstop action of Mont
Tremblant, there's a resort to fit every taste and budget. If you're just learning to ski or
ride, one of the best learning centers in the world awaits you at the classic, Gray Rocks
Resort. Looking for lift-served backcountry adventures? Check out the relatively unknown Ski
Morin Heights area.

For variety, you can ski and ride five areas-Mont Avila, Mont Olympia, Morin Heights, Mont
Saint-Sauveur and Mont Gabriel-on one reasonably priced ticket-since all these areas are
owned by the same company. And a Gray Rocks ticket is also valid at Mont Blanc, and vice versa.
But perhaps the greatest Laurentian treasure trove are the independently owned
undiscovered gems, many of which are family owned and operated. Each has its
own fiercely loyal clientele. Experts prefer rugged Mont Alta, with its limited grooming
policy, while families flock to the uncrowded, friendly slopes of Belle Neige, Valle Bleu, Mont
Habitant and L'Avalanche.
For unusual apres ski diversions, there are working maple sugar shacks to visit,
dog sleds to ride, snowmobiles to rent, indoor aqua parks to swim through, countless miles of
scenic cross country trails to glide on, new people to meet and of course, great cuisine to
enjoy!
