How to get from
Ottawa Airport (YOW) to Mont Tremblant

About travelling from Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) to Mont Tremblant, QC

One of Québec’s best-known mountain destinations, Mont-Tremblant blends year-round recreation with a compact, pedestrian-friendly village. In winter, the resort offers over 100 trails split across four areas of the mountain, all framed by views of Lac Tremblant. Robust snowmaking ensures consistently good skiing even when natural snowfall varies across the East.

Tremblant’s village is a highlight for most travellers. Restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, and stores cluster around the base, creating a warm, walkable setting. Microbrasserie La Diable is popular for après beers, P’tit Caribou keeps the nightlife going, and La Savoie is the classic fondue spot. Morning options like Au Grain de Café and La Sandwicherie round out the lineup. From ski gear to local crafts, the shopping scene is diverse.

The resort shines in summer and fall as well. Visitors come to hike panoramic trails, ride mountain bikes, paddle on Lac Tremblant, or simply enjoy the Laurentian scenery. The area’s busy event schedule—concerts, festivals, and seasonal celebrations—means there’s always something happening no matter when you visit.
