Side Trips from Montréal Feature

Ski at Mont-Tremblant: For some of the best skiing east of the Rockies, Mont-Tremblant, about 150 km (90 miles) north of Montreal, also has fine hotels and restaurants as well as a lively ski village and great golf courses.

Take a Driving Tour of Eastern Township Wineries: The vineyards here are often compared to those in the Niagara Region and Okanagan Valley.

Visit Abbaye St-Benoit-du-Lac: The Benedictine monks built this splendid church?with its fairy-tale castle bell tower?on the shores of Lake Memphremagog.

Spend a night among wolves in Parc Omega: Go with an experienced guide to explore the lives of these great predators in their natural habitat—the magnificent Outaouais region.

Go leaf-peeping... anywhere: From mid-September through mid-October the entire Laurentians, Eastern Townships, and Outaouais are ablaze with spectacular fall foliage.
