Skiing in Québec, Canada

Located on the East Coast of Canada, Québec is a province and home of the Québécois nation in the central part of Canada. It is the only Canadian province with a predominantly French-speaking population and where French is the only official language. However, there is a significant English-speaking minority and English is widely spoken, especially in Montreal.

Québec is Canada's largest province by area and second most populated province, behind Ontario, and most of its inhabitants live along or close to the banks of the Saint Lawrence. The area is steeped in history, culture, amazing scenery and natural resources.

More than 90% of Québec's area lies within the Canadian Shield - a rough, rocky terrain sculpted and scraped clean of soil by successive ice ages. The southern portion of the shield extends to the Laurentians, a mountain range just north of Montreal and Quebec City and it is within this area that the 40 ski resorts are found. The ski resorts are a very popular pull for the area and have a big local following.

The best known ski resort in Québec is Mont Tremblant - it is an Intrawest Resort and offers a high standard of accommodation combined with a convenient ski in ski out village.
