Quebec (Canada)
Mont-Tremblant is the Laurentians' great mountain resort, a ski hill, a car-free pedestrian village, a string of lakes and a national park, all within a short drive of each other north of Montreal.
This guide covers the resort, the village and the park: the Tremblant ski mountain and its panoramic gondola, the cobblestone-style lanes and Place Saint-Bernard in the pedestrian village, the lakes, trails and wildlife of Parc national du Mont-Tremblant and the quiet thermal pools of the Scandinave Spa beside the Diable River. It also covers the 234-kilometre P'tit Train du Nord linear park, the nature trails of Domaine Saint-Bernard, the elevated Treetop Walk and a helicopter flight over the ranges. It also covers the lakeside beach, a lake cruise, Rouge River rafting, the Tonga Lumina night walk, an outdoor rink, the casino and the historic race circuit. Eight hotels, from luxury resorts and a boutique stay by the lake to suite hotels and a small bed and breakfast, cover the village and the lakeshore, and six guides explain the seasons, what to book ahead, family days, a three-day plan and where to stay.
Parc national du Mont-Tremblant
Quebec's oldest national park, a vast wilderness of lakes, rivers, hills and forest that begins just north of the resort. It offers hiking, paddling and wildlife in the warm months and snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in winter.
Tremblant Pedestrian Village
A car-free, cobblestone-style resort village at the foot of the mountain, with Place Saint-Bernard as its central square, more than 90 shops, restaurants and activities, and a lakeside setting. Shops and restaurants stay open all year.
Helicopter Tour Over Mont-Tremblant
A 20-minute helicopter flight covering about 70 kilometres of the Laurentian landscape, with the mountain, the lakes and the village below. Helicopter rides run all year at Tremblant, and flights are weather dependent.
Domaine Saint-Bernard
A nature domain on the edge of Mont-Tremblant, with hiking, biking and astronomy nights in the fall and nearly 40 kilometres of cross-country ski trails, snowshoe trails and winter walking paths when the snow comes.
Hand-picked: every experience here has strong traveler reviews and a verified booking link.
The signature mountain of the Laurentians, rising straight above the pedestrian village. The 2026-27 ski season opens on 26 November, and the panoramic gondola carries non-skiers to the summit for the view over Lac Tremblant.
