Mont-Tremblant ((:mɔ̃ tʁɑ̃blɑ̃)) is a city in the Laurentian mountains of Quebec, Canada, approximately northwest of Montreal and northeast of Ottawa. The current municipality with city status was formed in 2000. Mont-Tremblant is most famous for its ski resort, the Mont-Tremblant Ski Resort, which is 5 kilometres from the village proper, at the foot of a mountain called Mont Tremblant (derived from local Algonquins who referred to it as the "trembling mountain").. Mont-Tremblant has a race track called Circuit Mont-Tremblant. It has hosted or currently hosts Formula One, Can-Am, Trans-Am, and Champ Car World Series competitions amongst others. The surrounding area also features hiking, cycling, canoeing, fishing, golfing, ziplines, and a host of other outdoor activities. Since the summer of 2006, Mont-Tremblant has its own senior amateur Football team, the Mystral, and Junior AA hockey team, Les Diables (Devils). ==History== The area was first settled by the aboriginal people, the Algonquins and 1872 by parish priest Antoine Labelle, leading to formal establishment of the parish in 1879. A railway line from Montreal was completed to the village of Saint-Jovite in 1892, and extended to Lac Mercier in 1904. The Lac-Mercier station would become the village of Mont-Tremblant. In 1905 a hydroelectric dam was erected on the banks of the Ruisseau Clair and the Rivière-du-Diable, providing electricity initially for Saint-Jovite. Principal economic activities were agriculture and logging. Constructed by Joseph Bondurant Ryan, the ski resort Mont-Tremblant Lodge began operation of their first chair lift in 1939. His family sold the resort in 1965 to a consortium of investors. In 2002 the four municipalities in the area merged, Ville Saint-Jovite, Paroisse de Saint-Jovite, Mont-Tremblant, and Lac-Tremblant-Nord, becoming the amalgamated Ville de Mont-Tremblant. Afterwards the Municipality of Lac-Tremblant-Nord separated, effective 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ville de Mont-Tremblant, Québec, Canada - Site officiel de la ville de Mont-Tremblant )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mont-Tremblant, Quebec」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
