Here is the view from our loft’s balcony in Mont  Tremblant, looking eastwards on to the alpine village.  Most of the buildings you see in the foreground and middle ground are hotels (with shops on the ground floor).  The green cylindrical made of glass in the middle of the picture is a gondola (cable car) station that takes you to the shops at the base of the mountain.  The reddish-brown houses in the background on the hills are permanent vacation homes that start at around $850,000 CAD.
