there’s plenty to keep visitors occupied wherever they’re staying. PAUSE: Do your clients like cheese? What about chocolate? If the answer to these questions is a resounding ‘yes!’ (and really, how could it not be?) there are a couple of places in Montebello that they’d be mad not to visit. At Fromagerie Montebello you can try out the cheeses on offer to decide which one to take away and scoff later, while Chocomotive offers the sweet-of-tooth a vast array of delicious chocolates and other local products. PLAY: Canada is well-known worldwide for its unique animal life, and you can cross most of them off your must- see list at Parc Omega, just north of Montebello. Some of the creatures you can get up close and personal with are moose, wolves, bears and bison – it’s a fantastic way to see the wildlife of this enormous country in one fell swoop.


Strolling between pools in a dressing gown while snow gently drifts down around you is a surreal but magical experience


w MONT TREMBLANT: MUSH OR MOOCH Mont Tremblant is a ski resort and holiday destination in the Laurentian mountains, about 80 miles northwest of Montreal. PAUSE: An outside spa might not be the most obvious place to go when it’s 10 below zero, but a couple of hours at Scandinave Spa Mont-Tremblant is surprisingly relaxing; strolling between water pools in a dressing gown and slippers while snow gently drifts down


around you is a surreal but magical experience. The hydrotherapy technique applied


here operates on a warm-refresh-relax cycle. First, you heat up in a warm pool or sauna, then dunk yourself briefly in one of several cold-water pools (the bravest can even submerge themselves in the Diable river, which runs through the spa) to close the pores, then relax at regular indoor temperature, before repeating the process. It might sound odd, but you come out feeling fantastic – and there’s nothing to stop you enjoying the last half hour just soaking up the warmth in the hot baths. Alternatively, for something extra special that doesn’t involve dunking yourself in a freezing river, clients can book a helicopter ride with Heli- Tremblant for a different perspective on the region (from £120 for 10 minutes). PLAY: Active clients will love Mont Tremblant during winter. Beyond
