Home to iconic Mont Tremblant and a diverse and vibrant ski culture, this region is a vital part of Quebec’s outdoor community. Whether you're taking in the views at Tremblant, the endless trails of Le P'tit Train du Nord, or catching night laps in Saint-Sauveur, warmer, unpredictable winters directly threaten our season length, winter festivals, and outdoor livelihoods. The landscape and our culture are irrevocably tied together - let’s show up for it.
Here's the beta:

3. JUST HOW RAD IS OUR RIDING?
- Quebec is a vast, diverse province, but the Laurentians stand out as the third third-largest tourism destination. That means real people supporting the outdoors and making their living all year-round: about 35,000 of them (maybe including you!) alongside 11.5 million annual visitors finding out just how rad this riding is!
-
The Rivière du Nord watershed in the Laurentians helps regulate the climate by storing and sequestering carbon, controlling erosion and pollutants, mitigating flooding and maintaining habitats for biodiversity. In economic terms, that value is estimated at $522.7 million per year!
-
Over 62% of the region’s key tourist attractions are anchored in the outdoor core of the Laurentians! $2.1 billion dollars is economically contributed through things like trail networks, parks, resorts, and sporting activities.
