This 100-year-old lodge on Lac Ouimet closed its doors in 2009. You'll still find tennis and golf here, but you'll need to search elsewhere for lodging, including nearby Mont-Tremblant.

Beginning in the summer of 2010, André Lemaire, who runs the programs at Tremblant, expands his International Academy empire to the 12 Har-Tru courts at La Belle Golf Course at Gray Rocks. Plans call for offering round robins there seven days a week—except during early August when the La Belle courts host two major tennis tournaments—as well as court time and private lessons.
Courts & Fees. There are 12 Har-Tru courts at the golf course. Court fees: free for hotel guests, $C32/hour for the general public; reduced rates for hotel guests.
Golf Courses. There are two golf courses, Beauty (La Belle) and the Beast (La Bête).
La Belle: Built in 1920, this is the oldest course in the Laurentians. Scenic, with 18 holes, par 72, 6,320 yards
La Bête: This 18-hole, par 72 championship course extends for 6,825 yards and has spectacular views of Mont Tremblant, the valley, and the Devil's River.
Horseback Riding. Guided trail rides are available at the equestrian center at Sugar Peak Mountain within the resort.
