About travelling from Ottawa, ON to Mont Tremblant, QC
Mont-Tremblant is one of Eastern Canada’s standout mountain destinations, known for its year-round energy and classic alpine character. The mountain covers four unique faces with more than 100 runs that look out across the Laurentians and Lac Tremblant. With one of the most comprehensive snowmaking systems in the region, the resort consistently delivers solid conditions throughout the winter, even when storms are unpredictable elsewhere.
What really defines Tremblant is its pedestrian village. It’s compact, colourful, and designed so you can wander easily between the lifts, restaurants, bars, and boutique shops. Après spots like Microbrasserie La Diable, P’tit Caribou, and La Savoie keep things lively in the evenings, while Au Grain de Café and La Sandwicherie are reliable morning rituals for many visitors. Between the cafés, bakeries, gear stores, and local specialty shops, most essentials — and plenty of treats — are right at your fingertips.
When the snow melts, Tremblant shifts effortlessly into summer mode. The area is packed with hiking trails, lake access, bike routes, and panoramic viewpoints that show off the Laurentians in full colour. The Summit Trail and nearby lookouts draw plenty of hikers, and Lac Tremblant becomes the centre for paddling, swimming, and relaxing by the water. Festivals, concerts, and seasonal events add to the atmosphere, making it a destination that works in every season.
If you're starting your trip from Ottawa, Ridebooker makes the journey north straightforward.

Ottawa is one of the closest major urban gateways to Tremblant, and many travellers pair a few days in the capital — museums, restaurants, and riverside paths — with a mountain escape. The drive to Mont-Tremblant generally takes around two to two-and-a-half hours, bringing you from city streets into the heart of the Laurentians. Once you arrive, the village is fully walkable, letting you settle in and start enjoying the resort right away.
