Mont-Tremblant is gorgeous year round, but the breathtaking colours of the fall season really stand out. So much so, locals have dubbed this short mini season “les couleurs” (French, for the colours). For a few weeks that start in the end of September and run through October, tourists from Quebec and around the world flock to the Laurentians to witness the majestic mountains light up with gorgeous colours. Tourists and locals alike have an assortment of fall activities in Tremblant to chose from to marvel at nature’s opus. For the adventurous, helicopter and plane tours are available from numerous activity providers in the Tremblant region.

Mont-Tremblant’s National Park has a seemingly infinite number of hiking trails, for all levels and family members. Most popular among them is the Via Ferrata, an experience that is similar to rock climbing.

Want to get the amazing views without the treacherous climbs? Take the Mont-Tremblant Gondola to the top, and take in the fantastic views from the highest peak in the Laurentians. Still pleasing the adventurous types, there are Zipline courses that offer safe thrills for families in Tremblant and the Laurentian region. For those of us who prefer a more serene approach to enjoying the season, you can rent bicycles or rollerblades and enjoy the Petit Train du Nord, a mostly flat and well groomed path that runs over 200 km from Saint Jerome to Mont-Laurier, passing through Mont-Tremblant.

Finally, to soak up the beauty if the season in the most relaxed fashion, indulge in a trip to the spa. Or, if you are lucky enough to have one at home, stay in!

So grab a sweater, and enjoy the crispness of autumn. Tremblant Living Luxury chalet rentals are the ideal place to get cozy after a full day of fresh air. Our chalets have fireplaces, hot tubs, balconies to watch sunsets and dark nights for stargazing.

There is a Canadian tradition in early February of predicting the length of the winter via a wise Groundhog. This tradition may seem antiquated and a bit silly to many, but it holds strong! Though the groundhogs are all over Canada, they tend to have a similar prediction, and this year, it is clear: We have six more weeks of winter coming!

For those of us who enjoy the winter months, this is not so disappointing! It just means 6 more weeks of skiing, snowshoeing, and generally enjoying the beautiful Canadian outdoors.

Why are we excited about 6 more weeks of winter at Tremblant Living? Well, let us tell you our favorite things about winter:

• It is beautiful. In the city winter can be cold and gray, but here in the Laurentians, in Mont-Tremblant, it is all white and blue. On clear days, the view from the top of the ski hill, and from your chalet are absolutely incredible. The sun shines brightly on the snow and it sparkles like glitter. You have to see it to believe it.
• It is fun! There is so much to do in the winter here you can’t do in the summer: ice skating, cross country skiing, skate skiing, dog sledding, and now, they have fat-bikes, or winter cycling!
• The stars are brighter. This is not a scientific fact, but personal experience tells us that the colder the night, the brighter they shine.
• You can eat more, and heavier. Only in the winter can you truly enjoy Quebecois classics like fondue and raquelette, not to mention French onion soup. If you don’t know about these you can ask our expert concierge to send you in the right direction and try it out, or stay tuned for our next blog post on the topic.

We know it can be cold, but if you dress properly and in layers, you have nothing to worry about. We have advice here on how to stay cozy, too.
Good news is, you have 6 more weeks to enjoy the winter season at Tremblant Living! Contact our sales team and come join us!

WE WERE THE FIRST GUESTS TO EVER SLEEPT THERE! It is slightly further from the Tremblant resort, but provides intimacy and quiet, and there are many activities on-site as well…. “

Your visit to Tremblant Living can be done completely without a car!

A common misconception is that visiting rural areas like Mont-Tremblant, require having your own vehicle. While most people do come to Tremblant with a vehicle, for those coming from further away like Toronto and New York, it might be easier not to drive!

A car-free experience is very possible, more relaxing, and a more sustainable way to travel, even without a vehicle.

Here are some of our tips:

1.Book one of our on-resort properties:

• Bondurant is directly in the village, across the street from the Westin, and steps from restaurants and shops.
• Altitude, hovers above the resort, and offers spectacular views of the lake and mountains while being a short walk (about 5 mins) to the resort.
• We have our classic Panache units, that are nestled on mountainside. They each have private hot tubs, pool/ping-pong tables and are within a 10 to 15 minute walk, downhill, to the resort.
• With legendary views of the lake, the brand new Havre units are located just beyond the top of the village. They feature up to 8 Bedrooms, private hot tubs with views of the lake, balconies and barbecues. They are a 15 minute walk to the resort.
• Our signature property, Tremblant Manor, is of course the one of a kind chalet that is within a 2 minute walk to the resort. This incredible home features 9 bedrooms and an indoor pool.

2. Allow us to fill your fridge:

• Groceries are a major component in any family vacation. Let us take care of it, by pre-filling your fridge with everything you require. Our Hospitality team will provide a list so you can select the foods you would like, and you will find your fridge full of goodies when you arrive.

3. Book some private services:

• If you would prefer to skip the walk to the resort one night, or enjoy an adults-only dinner in the comfort of home after the kids have gone to bed, we can organize a private chef to come into your luxury rental and cook for you. Interested in yoga or a massage? Let us know, and we will have an experienced professional come to you!

4. Getting here:

• How will you get here? Tremblant provides Shuttle service to the Tremblant Airport. A brand new bus service comes directly from Montreal.
• Finally, we can always arrange a private shuttle or car for your group. Just let us know, we are here to book for you!

We hope you enjoy travelling to Tremblant Living properties, with or without a vehicle. Know that both are very possible.

Your incredible experience awaits

As Canadians, we embrace all of the seasons. There is something particularly enchanting about Spring on the ski slopes, though, when it feels like everyone is breaking out of hibernation, and the Adirondack chairs are bursting with happy people, enjoying the longer days and warmer temperatures. We’ve compiled a short list of everything there is to love about spring skiing!

1. It isn’t freezing!  Many devout skiers endure the cold temperatures and biting winds, because they love the sport, so, so much. Spring skiing, on the other hand, has winter warriors shedding layers and slathering on sunscreen.  It’s not uncommon to see people careening down the slopes in shorts and a t-shirt.
2. Raccoon tans. Speaking of sunscreen, you know its spring skiing when people show up at the après ski with white rings around their eyes.
3. Apres Ski – Spring Skiing does seem to focus even more on the social aspects of the sport, the conditions being variable, and generally we all go a bit slower so we can take advantage of all that sunshine, and the sweet slushy snow before it melts.
4. It’s FUN! The conditions being so variable, and the weather being mild leave a lot more space for being experimental and silly with our sport. We can hang out at the bottom of the hill between runs, try different jumps, and use the new equipment we just bought at a spring sale.
5. It’s great for skiers of all levels. The lighthearted attitude and mild weather of the spring ski crowd, paired with less people on the slopes makes it a great time for beginners and children to really spend some time improving.
6. Live music!  Starting in the Spring Tremblant hosts live music in the Place Saint Bernard, the central plaza of the Tremblant Pedestrian village.
7. Great deals! Spring Skiing can be variable from year to year, but the prices are always better – you can get more runs for your money.

So that’s why we love Spring Skiing, here at Tremblant Living! And this year, with the record breaking amount of snow (546 cm so far this season!) will ensure there is going to be a long and lovely Spring ski season, and the lifts are staying open until April 21st!  You still have a month left to enjoy the gorgeous wintry outdoors of Mont-Tremblant, and it’s Spring Skiing. Give us a call today so we can help you book your spring adventure of a lifetime!

The Hills are Alive this summer! Tremblant is a year-round destination, and Tremblant Living’s luxury rental homes are the ideal place to experience all summer has to offer! You can select a secluded chalet a few minutes drive away, or choose one of our townhomes within walking distance.
