This chapter on the Laurentians region is taken from the Ulysses guide to Québec. The most renowned resort area in Québec, the beautiful Laurentians region and its Mont-Tremblant resort attract a great many visitors all year round. For generations, people have been "going up north" to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Laurentian landscape. Its lakes, mountains and forests provide a particularly good setting for a variety of physical activities and outings. As the Laurentians boast the highest concentration of ski resorts in North America, skiing gets top billing here when winter rolls around. With your Ulysses guide in hand, head off for the charming and friendly villages scattered at the feet of the Laurentian mountains, and discover the region's best attractions, restaurants, shops, inns, bed and breakfasts, hotels, parks and outdoor activities.
