The drive from Mont Tremblant to Ottawa Airport (YOW) typically takes around 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions. During winter months, allow extra time for snow or icy roads to ensure a safe journey.
It’s recommended to leave at least 3 hours before a domestic flight and 4 hours before an international flight. This accounts for the 2–2.5 hour drive, check-in, and security screening. In winter, adding extra buffer time for road conditions is wise.
Shared shuttle services are limited and may not run at convenient times. For a reliable, stress-free option, private transfers are preferred. They provide direct, door-to-door service, and flexible departure times, ensuring you arrive at the airport on schedule.

A private transfer is more dependable, providing a professional driver and guaranteed door-to-door service.
