Tremblant Massif

The Tremblant massif rises above a country of Laurentian lakes and forests. Glaciers rounded its summits and carved valleys from which the Rouge, Matawin and L'Assomption watersheds descend. The Algonquin called the mountain Manitonga Soutana, the mountain of spirits. A tradition tells of a manitou who made the mountain tremble when its peace was disturbed; travellers spoke of rumblings and of the ground moving beneath their feet. The French name, Montagne Tremblante, preserves the memory of the shaking mountain.
