SLEEP: GLAMP / GLAM
You’ll sleep like a bear at superb glamping
locales tucked into near wilderness.
From south to north, check out the new
Huttopia Les Deux Lacs - Laurentides; Les
Refuges Perchés Mont Tremblant in Mont-
Blanc, where you cuddle in treetop huts; and
Hôtel UNIQ, a domain of deluxe tents and
communal cooking in Mont-Tremblant.
The region’s two outstanding parks, Parcs
national du Mont Tremblant and Oka, have
progressive chalets and activities in pristine
conservation areas. In the Central Lauren-
tians, Hôtel Manoir Saint-Sauveur and Hôtel
Mont Gabriel in Sainte-Adèle are longtime
favourites.
Luxury beckons at the landmark Fairmont
Tremblant and the posh Hôtel Quintessence.
Both have fine cuisine, sumptuous accom-
modations, unflagging service and sublime
pool and spa life.
In the rugged Upper Laurentians, the
rustic but comfortable lodge, Pourvoirie
Mekoos, organizes fishing and adventures on
lakes and land.
FOOD: SIMPLE / SOPHISTICATED
Chemin du Terroir is an enchanting agri-route
through the Lower Laurentians with tasty
stops like the cider house, Domaine Lafrance,
and the honey haven, Bee Farm Intermiel.
Oka Cheese is a renowned product of the
Abbaye d’Oka, and orchards abound, so you
can harvest your own apples and pears at
Labonté de la Pomme.
Gastronomes won’t go hungry. Among top
gourmet eateries are: Choux Gras Brasserie
Culinaire at the Fairmont Tremblant; Restau-
rant La Quintessence; and Stonehaven Le
Manoir, a genteel Relais & Chateaux in
Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts.
Going casual, MicroBrasserie Shawbridge
dishes up elevated pub fare, as well as
cocktails, wine and its own heady brews
