Bromont is a city in southwestern Quebec in Canada, 75 kilometres (47 mi) east of Montreal on Autoroute 10, bordering the Eastern Townships at the base of Mount Brome (Mont Brome).
Bromont is well known as a tourist destination for its downhill skiing, mountain biking, water slides, golf as well as equestrian events.
Bromont also boasts a high tech industrial park (IBM, General Electric, Dalsa) and has an airport that serves the region.
However, the Bromont mountain, called "Mont Brome" by locals, has a great skiable surface. It is mainly enjoyed by beginner-intermediate skiers, although some of it's trails can offer advanced skiers some challenges.
