Laurentian Mountains<br />
The gentle, unhurried panoramas of the Laurentian<br />
Mountains unfold to the north of Montréal, a vast<br />
landscape of majestic slopes clad in conifers and<br />
sprinkled with lakes and picturesque villages.<br />
Despite the recent blossoming of ski resorts such<br />
as Mont St. Sauveur and Mont Tremblant the<br />
land has remained generally untouched. The<br />
magnificent scenery makes a perfect backdrop<br />
for many outdoor pursuits, including hiking, fishing,<br />
kayaking and swimming. For cyclists, the 200<br />
kilometre-long P’tit Train du Nord Linear Park<br />
is the perfect trail along the route of a former<br />
railway line. We have discovered some wonderful<br />
places to stay that make great bases from which<br />
to explore this sublime landscape.<br />

L’Eau à la Bouche<br />
L’EAU À LA BOUCHE,<br />
SAINTE ADÈLE<br />
Nestled amidst the pine and maple-strewn<br />
slopes of the Laurentian Mountains, this is a<br />
gastronomic gem. The 25 tastefully decorated<br />
rooms combine luxury and a sense of space with<br />
views of the mountains or the lush Laurentian<br />
forest. A member of Relais & Châteaux, L’Eau<br />
à la Bouche has for many years been winning<br />
worldwide awards for its cuisine. The owners,<br />
Anne Desjardins and Pierre Audette, share a<br />
passion for food and a pride in regional produce<br />
which even shows in the casual café-lounge.<br />
The hotel also has an outdoor swimming pool<br />
and a full-service spa.<br />
LA BELLE AU BOIS DORMANT,<br />
NEAR MONT-TREMBLANT<br />
La Belle au Bois Dormant is gloriously set in a<br />
forest of maple and spruce overlooking Lac<br />
Mercier and Mont Johannsen. Though just a ten<br />
minute drive from Mont Tremblant Resort this<br />
log-built lodge offers ultimate peace and seclusion.<br />
The interior is decorated with antique furniture<br />
that reflects the French heritage of your charming<br />
hosts, Isabelle and Didier. There are just five guest<br />
rooms, each with exposed timber walls and<br />
floors. Whilst enjoying a delicious breakfast in this<br />
peaceful haven you can often see deer, racoons<br />
or black squirrels trying to reach the bird feeders.<br />
