                                    ★★
                                 Mont-Tremblant National Park is the oldest and largest of Quebec’s provincial
                              parks. A vast universe of mountains looming over endless lakes and rivers, the park
                               features more than 400 lakes and 2 major rivers, the Diable and the Assomption.
                              We recommend focusing on the La Diable Sector during your Canada tour holidays.
