About travelling from Montreal, QC to Mont Tremblant, QC
Mont-Tremblant stands out as one of the premier all-season resorts in Eastern Canada, known for its vibrant base village and welcoming alpine feel. The mountain spans four distinct sides with more than 100 downhill trails, all looking out over Lac Tremblant and the rolling Laurentians. Snowmaking is extensive, giving the resort an edge during winters when natural snowfall is unpredictable.
Its pedestrian village is a defining feature. Everything is close together, making it simple to move between slopes, restaurants, bars, and shops. Popular après choices include Microbrasserie La Diable for locally brewed beer, the lively P’tit Caribou, and La Savoie for a fondue dinner. Morning regulars tend to head toward Au Grain de Café or La Sandwicherie. Retail ranges from technical mountain gear to regional products and sweets.
Tremblant doesn’t slow down once ski season ends. Sunny months bring hiking, biking, lakeside outings, and scenic gondola rides. Trails like the Summit Trail deliver great viewpoints, while Lac Tremblant becomes a hub for paddle sports. With festivals running most of the year, the resort blends outdoor adventure with cultural flavour in every season.
