Tucked within the Laurentian Mountains, Mont Tremblant is a picture-perfect ski town. Lake Tremblant gleams in the background, while the nearby Mont Tremblant National Park offers endless activities and things to do. In the winter, visitors ski, snowboard, and skate on the outdoor rink by the Saint-Bernard Chapel before warming up in one of the village’s cozy cafes. The summer months see the lake fill with canoers, and outdoor enthusiasts flock to hike through the sugar maple and yellow birch forests.
There’s never a bad time to make a trip to Mont Tremblant—hikers love to visit in the summer to backpack on the long trails in the national park, and it becomes a haven for snow sports once winter comes. The fall brings the beauty of the changing leaves, and the contrast between the blue lake and red maple leaves is unmissable. Visit in May for quieter slopes, while the end of September is the peak season to see the leaves.
Between the main sections of the centre-ville (downtown) and the Tremblant Resort village, Mont Tremblant is easy to access. The pedestrian village is charming to explore, with restaurants, cafes, and outdoor stores, while the downtown is full of history and public art. A frequent bus runs between the two areas—to head to the resort, catch the bus on Rue Labelle, opposite Jasey-Jay Anderson Park. Shuttles also run between parking lots and resorts, so you can enjoy your trip without worrying about parking.
Check the schedule for Première Scène for a chance to experience Quebecois culture—this performing arts venue is housed in a stunning old church and hosts frequent concerts and comedy shows. It’s also a hotspot for local events. To get there, you can take the bus from downtown, heading towards the mountain, and get off at the Du Village and Du Couvent stop.
