Know More About Montebello:
Montebello is a municipality located in the Papineau Regional County Municipality of Western Quebec, Canada. At the 2001 census, there were 1,039 permanent residents. The village has a total area of 7.95 square kilometers (3.07 sq mi), and is located at the eastern edge of Quebec's Outaouais region. It is located on the border with Ontario.
The village is world-famous for the Château Montebello resort, the largest log structure ever built. The resort was the host of the 1983 NATO Nuclear Planning Group, and the 1981 G7 Economic Summit.
In 1855, the village got its post office. In 1878, it separated from the Parish Municipality of Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours-de-la-Petite-Nation and formed the Village Municipality of Montebello. On August 2, 2003, its status was changed and it became the Municipality of Montebello.

FESTIVALS
For sure there are some wonderful festivals, such as Amnesia Rockfest, LogFest but check out these year-round destinations and attractions.
EXPLORE KENAUK PARK
Kenauk (pronounced Ken-uk) is an extensive park north of Montebello, where forested hills shelter more than 70 lakes. It has a fascinating history because it was part of Québec’s seigneurial system of land ownership. Seigneurial lands were those given by the King of France to “lords” or “seigneurs” who controlled the settlement and development of such property, in a feudal system.
BLONDE BEAR SAFARI
Blondes do have more fun here at Kenauk, because these rare bears which represent only 1% of the bear population in Québec, represent 25% of the population in this park. These bears are a colour morph of black bears. Go and try to see these amazing creatures for yourselves by booking either through Le Château Montebello, or Kenauk Nature.
TASTE CHOCOLATES AT CHOCOMOTIVE ECONO-MUSEUM
Love chocolate? Want to learn more about it, at a chocolate econo-museum?
Then run don’t walk from Le Château Montebello to the village’s former train station, where you’ll meet the ever-ebulient Gaëtan Tessier, chocolatier supremo. Ask him anything at all about chocolate and he’ll grin, then start spinning delicious stories about how he envisioned and created this chocolaterie. A chocolaterie is a place which makes and sells chocolate confections. An Economuseum (Economusée en français) is a museum which celebrates and keeps alive traditional artisinal crafts.
RIDE AN ATV AT CAMP EXPLORA
Honestly, Le Château Montebello is the key to accessing this venue, too, because Camp Explora is located in the former gardener’s and groundskeeper’s “cottage” on the property. But that’s not all…While everyone’s heard of ATVs (Quads), here at Camp Explora you can try out electric and solar geo-carts. Eric and I loved this place because you get to test your navigational skills using an iPad as a navigational guide while driving one of the geo carts.
