Go Skiing!

Mont-Tremblant is obviously one of the best places in the entire province of Quebec to go skiing! As soon as you look up pictures of this charming mountain town, you will see the nearby ski slopes that are literally just steps from the front door of many businesses, restaurants, and hotels in the heart of Mont-Tremblant. We know that this charming European-inspired town is great for outdoor enthusiasts to head to all year round for hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, snowboarding, and fishing, but you can also go skiing even if you’re a beginner or novice athlete.

Go skiing in Mont-Tremblant

Once you arrive at the village, you can head to the ski lift to choose a green or blue slope that works for you. We recommend beginning with one of the green trails that brings you along the side of the mountain at an easy decline, so you can practice your skills, build confidence, and get ready for harder slopes. Try the Nansen Trail that goes for nearly 4 miles from the top of the mountain into the pedestrian village down below. This is a fun way for you to see the sights, build your skills, and get comfortable on the snow!

Then, once you want to go back up for more, take the gondola back to the starting point for your next run. The gondola rides are some of the best aspects of skiing here, as you can gaze out at the bright blue lakes, marvel at the large pine trees, and check out the colorful buildings located within the village itself.

Go Dog Sledding

Another fun activity to do that is sometimes overlooked and not at the top of most people’s to-do list when they come to Mont-Tremblant is to go dog sledding! This is a true once in a lifetime activity that you will not be able to find many other places. We recommend taking one of the dog sledding tours that winds you through nature and the outskirts of the village through the forests. Use a dog-sledding tour and expert guide so you always feel safe and secure during your trip. There are dozens of tours for you to sign up for when you want to go dog sledding in Mont-Tremblant, but we think that using our in-house concierge service is your best bet for a tailored tour perfect for your trip.

Try snowshoeing in Mont-Tremblant

Lace Up Your Snowshoes

Another fun snow-filled activity for you to do during your trip here is to go snowshoeing on the manicured trails. Snowshoeing is a fantastic way for you to get some exercise during the winter months, see the breathtaking sights, and reduce the risk that you might find with skiing or snowboarding! We recommend renting snowshoes in the heart of the pedestrian village and heading out with an expert guide for a fun and personalized tour of Mont-Tremblant. If you have your own gear, you can go to any one of the well-marked trails on both the north and south sides of the mountain.

Take a Bath

We are talking about going to a Scandinavian bath that is the perfect way for you to chill out, de-stress, and relax after a hectic week at work or a full day of travel day. Head to the Scandinave Spa in Mont-Tremblant that is just 7 minutes away from the heart of the village, making it easy for you to take a taxi, drive your rental car, or cycle here from your house.

There are so many packages and services for you to choose from that can help you truly relax during your holiday. Begin your trip here by immersing yourself in the thermal spa, just like Scandinavian people do to achieve a state of relaxation, ease their muscles, and calm the mind. Next, you can choose from a wide range of services that will help your body perform optimally for skiing and snowboarding, such as the Swedish massage or deep tissue massage.

One of the best gifts that you can give your friend, family member, or partner this upcoming winter holiday season is a package to the spa! You can book your journey online using the website and choose the type of massage you want, such as Swedish relaxation massage with a full-body relaxation method, therapeutic massage to help alleviate tension and ease aching muscles, or deep tissue massage to release tension and work in areas that require deeper pressure. The possibilities are endless!

Girls trips are needed to bond with your friends, spend quality time together, and see somewhere else than you are used to seeing. Instead of just going to your friend’s house and spending time watching TV, going to an old movie theater, spending all of your post-work hours at bars, or just relaxing at home by yourself, girls trips can be the best way to really get to know one another, share intimate stories, and explore a new, breathtaking place!

Not sure where to go for your upcoming scheduled girls’ weekend? We have the ideal spot in mind! Instead of flying out of the US and going to Europe, which can be very time-consuming and costly, we have a better idea in mind, a Mont Tremblant trip. Hop on a short plane ride or drive your car to the breathtaking town of Mont Tremblant in Canada.

Mont Tremblant is located just 90 minutes north of Montreal in the mountains, offering the perfect spot for you to relax, check out the local city, and get some exercise in the fresh air of the Laurentian Mountains. Mont Tremblant is the perfect base camp for you to hike or ski during the winter months!

Hit the Trails

One of the best activities for you and your girlfriend to do during the winter months is to go skiing and snowboarding! In fact, this area has some of the best mountains and pristine areas in the entire continent of North America. Plus, you can also just stay local at Mont Tremblant and enjoy the nearby mountain for black diamond slopes, challenging snowboard trails, and great apres ski options.

Walk Around the Pedestrian Village

Not sure what to do after a morning filled with skiing, snowboarding, and enjoying a hot cup of cocoa at the Apres ski lodge on the mountain? Well, we have a great idea! Who doesn’t love shopping? Even if you are not a huge fan of spending money and time in shops, we think that wandering around the picturesque pedestrian village in Mont Tremblant is a must-do activity for you and your gals.

Mont Tremblant has a great pedestrian village that offers great shopping, tasty restaurants, cute cafes, and cool shops that offer souvenirs for you to bring back home. You can walk around and take Instagram-worthy photos of Swiss-style lodges, cobblestone steps, gondolas that head up to the mountains, breweries with far-reaching views, and much more.

If you get hungry while walking around, don’t worry — the pedestrian village offers tons of cafes for pick-me-ups, bistros for hearty sandwiches, and restaurants for mouth-watering dinner choices.

Challenge Yourself to an Ice-Climbing Afternoon!

If you and your girlfriends are true adrenaline junkies and interested in spending time doing fun and exciting activities, there is really nothing better than ice climbing! Mont Tremblant is home to numerous outdoor activities, ranging from the temperate walking through the woods to the helicopter rides. We think that ice climbing is the perfect in-between sport, perfect for seeing the region from a high-up point of view, pushing your body to its limits, and making memories that will last a long time.

Go Dog Sledding

Did you ever see the movie ‘Balto’ when you were younger? If so, you may have fallen in love with Huskies and sled dogs. If this sounds right, then you are going to think that dog sledding in Mont Tremblant is a dream come true — and it sure feels like it! Dog sledding is a super unique and fun activity that is really only possible in Canada and parts of the Arctic Circle. Check out a dog sledding adventure through the Canadian wilderness to have a memorable few hours with your best gal pals.

Enjoy Some Apres Ski Drinks

Last but not least, we know that you and your friends are going to enjoy skiing and snowboarding this holiday season. Even if you are a beginner skier, or you are an advanced snowboarder, we know that one of the most important aspects of hitting the mountain is the post-workout drinks with your mates! Head to Le P’tit Caribou for a huge pint of craft beer that will keep you refreshed and hydrated post-ski. Or, check out La Forge Bistro Bar and Grill for fantastic views, great pours of red wine, and hearty appetizers to split with the table. The possibilities for dining and drinks are endless here in Mont Tremblant!

There are tons of things for you to do in the bustling mountain town of Mont-Tremblant! But you can also head here during the ‘spooky season’ when the town really comes alive and celebrates the popular holiday of Halloween! Make sure you bring your best costume, dress to your best every single day during your holiday, and bring your kids to the fun trick-or-treating events happening here in this picturesque and idyllic mountain destination.

Not only can you partake in annual events and wear your scary or funny costumes, but there are other things for you to do that will really make this an unforgettable holiday with you and your loved ones. You can explore the great outdoors, go shopping, eat some of the best food in the entire area, and chat with locals. What more could you want for a fun and exciting fall Mont-Tremblant getaway?

Halloween Party

One of the must-attend events for you and your family during your trip to Mont-Tremblant is the ‘Halloween’ party on October 29th! Head here any time after 9 am, and don’t worry about shelling out a fortune — this exciting party for people of all ages is FREE to enter. Dress to the nines and head to the pedestrian village on Chemin des Voyageurs in Mont-Tremblant to see the town truly come alive. You will see people in scary costumes, funny get-ups, and interesting hairstyles as you walk around with your kids. Make sure you visit each of the stations to see what people are selling, buy some unique crafts and souvenirs to bring back home, and dance the day away with live music and entertainers.

Hit the Trails

If you are interested in escaping the crowds during the Halloween season, then hit the trails! There is arguably no better time to head high into the mountains and go hiking than the fall season. You will be able to see the changing of the leaves, break a sweat, and avoid the throngs of people who typically come here during the summer months. We love the fall season for going hiking on easy trails with elderly adults or younger children, peak-topping hikes with avid adults who are ready to test their limits, or easy nature walks with new hikers.

Check out the Nez de l’Indien hiking trail, which is an 8.4-kilometer loop trail with just 350 meters of elevation. This easy and moderate trail is good for those who want to spend a couple of hours in nature without being too far in the wilderness. If you want to go a bit higher up during your time in Mont-Tremblant, then Mont Nixon is a MUST! We love this trail as a shorter-distance peak hike that is good for those who are venturing into the world of hiking and want to experience a more challenging trail that offers panoramic vistas.

Not sure if you are a keen hiker yet? No worries! Check out the La Villageoise Loop, an easy hike that is great for older adults, children, and those who want to bike or take a stroller out on an easy 6.6-kilometer loop trail that offers great views of the nearby lakes, pine forests, and mountains.

Go Out for the Night!

If you are in Mont-Tremblant for a holiday, chances are you want to go out to eat! Whether you are here for a Halloween family get-together with your children, cousins, uncles, aunts, and extended family, or you are here for a romantic couple’s retreat, we have restaurants that can fit the bill.

Interested in spending a quality date night together after a day at the Halloween parade? Make sure you book a reservation at the infamous La Maison de Crepe. This popular and busy spot is one of the best in the entire area, featuring tasty and mouth-watering food at the base of the ski hill. We recommend getting one of the crepes or drinks to enjoy while you watch the snowfall on the nearby mountain. Luckily for you, if your kids have a sweet tooth, they will LOVE this eatery – try the Chococo with a Nutella-like chocolate hazelnut spread, banana, and fluffy crepes!

In the Mood for a Drink?

Last but not least, if you are in Mont-Tremblant for the busy and bustling Halloween holiday weekend, chances are you want to hit a bar or two during your stay here. Hit up one of the local breweries, wineries, or bars to get the night going and dance the night away in your costume.

We love going to Le P’tit Caribou to have a few beers and listen to music that gets you up out of your chair. You can also head to the Microbrewery La Diable to sip on some carefully crafted cocktails and people-watch throughout the pedestrian village. Want something a little ‘American’ on your trip if you’re feeling nostalgic? We love La Forge in the heart of Mont-Tremblant!

If you’re traveling with a large group make sure you check out Havre Tremblant. Also try Manor Tremblant, Chalet Manitonga, and Lagom Sträla. All of these rentals are walking distance to the resort, perfect for a Halloween getaway.

As you might guess, Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving a bit different than Americans! Canada celebrates Thanksgiving Day on the second Monday in October. The beauty of Mont-Tremblant is that there is so much to celebrate all year round thanks to the incredible atmosphere, nature, hiking trails, friendly people, mouthwatering restaurants, and cool culture. Whether you’re here to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving, an American Thanksgiving away from home, or just for a fall escape, a Mont-Tremblant Thanksgiving is the ideal vacation destination!

Head Out on the Hiking Trail

Hiking is the best way to get in some exercise, enjoy a healthy holiday, and see breathtaking sights that you won’t see from the downtown area. One of the best hikes to do just that, the Roche, Coulee, and Corniche Loop, is about an hour away from your accommodation in Mont-Tremblant but well worth the trip. This fun and exciting hiking trail is a 5.1-mile loop that offers incredible lookouts at La Roche and La Corniche, with La Coulee connecting both of these breathtaking viewpoints together for an easy-to-follow stroll.

If you are in the mood for something super hard that is going to take all day long, we love the Summit of Mont-Tremblant via Grand Brule and Les Caps hike. This challenging and exciting hike is a 6.87-mile loop trail that takes around 4-5 hours to complete but features tons of uphill walking, steep climbs, and scrambling – all of which is well worth the breathtaking views throughout! We recommend doing this trail early in the morning so you can see the sunrise and avoid the crowds. After a long day of hiking on the mountain, you can walk back down the trail into the resort area to have a pint of a crisp craft beer Le P’tit Caribou. Talk about the perfect Thanksgiving getaway!

Cruise on Lac Tremblant

Whether you want to head out on the lake to see the sunset, enjoy a romantic date night for Thanksgiving with your partner, or take your kids out on a fun-filled evening on the water, there are tons of reason why a cruise on Lac Tremblant is one of the top things to do this upcoming fall season. Head out on a cruise to see the incredible viewpoints of Mont-Tremblant and the surrounding forests as you snap pictures that you will remember forever.

This cruise lasts 90 minutes and is suitable for people of all ages. You can even partake in the Sunday Cafe Cruise to have a few drinks, muffins, pastries, smoked salmon, fresh fruit, piping hot coffee, cold cuts, and cheeses to enjoy a unique brunch that you won’t find elsewhere. We think this is one of the top things to do during the fall season before the weather gets too cold to go out on the water for an evening or mid-day cruise.

Ski Season Opening Day

One of the most exciting days of the year is the Ski Season Opening Day in Mont-Tremblant! November 23rd, right around American Thanksgiving, is the official launch of the 2023/2024 ski and snowboard season. Talk about exciting! While you’re here, our Guest Services can help you with purchasing lift tickets. People flock here from all over the world to rush to the slopes and the gondola lifts to take them to the top of the highest mountain to wind their way down the fresh powder. If you are interested in skiing in and around Mont-Tremblant for the upcoming season, then we recommend getting the Ikon Pass or the Ikon Base Pass to ski here and other destinations around the world. You are now a jet setter!

Rent a Bike for the Weekend

If you come up to Canada for Thanksgiving, we think this is the best time to really get out in nature. The summer has ended, and with it, so have the throngs of tourists who flock to this mountain town to go hiking and biking. That means the roads and the trails are much less crowded! We recommend renting a bike to go mountain biking or road cycling all weekend long, taking in the amazing sights and getting a great workout in the process.

Check out the Mont-Tremblant trail network that offers a connecting pathway between the Domaine Saint Bernard and Petit Train du Nord, making it easy for beginners, intermediate bikers, and advanced cyclists to find a route and path that works for them. If you do not have a bike with you on your vacation, check out the Le Randonneur Rental Centre right in the heart of Mont-Tremblant to choose a hybrid, mountain, road, or electric bike for use during your stay.

Book Your Stay

Make sure you book one of Tremblant Living’s luxury vacation rentals during your stay. Some of those include Grand Foret Villa, Manor Chalet, Verbier Le Géant, and Horizon 305. Reach out to Tremblant Living to learn more.

Mont-Tremblant is a beautiful place to visit any time of the year. During winter, you can go skiing or snowboarding at the large ski resort, which is world famous for its numerous slopes, pristine weather, far-reaching views, and après ski amenities. During the summer, the ski slopes and snowboard paths turn into hiking trails that we love for hours-long hikes through the pine forests, on the peaks, and to lakes.

During the spring, you can enjoy the weather turning warmer, head out to the downtown area for shopping, and begin to hit the trails as the snow melts. But we think the best time to come to this picturesque mountain town is in the fall season, when you still get the hours of sunshine from the summer, the snow has not yet fallen, and the leaves are changing colors. What more could you want for an outdoor-focused vacation with warm weather and amazing views?

Check out these must-do Mont-Tremblant fall activities during your upcoming trip. Book your accommodation with us now so you can get the house of your dreams for your upcoming holiday with your family or friends!

Grab a Coffee

As soon as you arrive in Mont-Tremblant, you might be knackered from the long journey, whether you come by car, plane, or train. The first thing is coffee! Luckily for you, there are numerous cafes and bakeries which offer strong coffee, pastries, and hearty breakfast dishes. We love going to Au Grain de Cafe on the Chemin. de la Chapelle, featuring strong espresso drinks and laid-back cafe fare in a European-style cafe with great views of the town. You can also head to Ocafe Vieux Tremblant on the Chemin. du Village, with a tasty savory breakfast and wooden tables that are great for playing card games or remote working. Another fan favorite is The Sandwich Bar and Bistro if you want a coffee shop that has tasty sandwiches, tons of food options, and proximity to all there is to do and see in the downtown area.

Enjoy a Savory or Sweet Breakfast

After a coffee and walking around the town, and the Lac Mercier, you might be feeling a bit peckish. It is time for breakfast, brunch, or lunch – whatever you are in the mood for! The first place we recommend for your initial day in Mont-Tremblant is Arome de Cafe Bistro, featuring a large terrace that is a great sun trap, whooping Canadian breakfast (with Canadian bacon) that we love for a splurge, and multigrain toast that tastes amazing with a fruity spread or poached eggs on top.

The second must-visit spot during your Mont-Tremblant vacation is La Maison de la Crêpe. Kids and adults alike will love this restaurant, as it features super-sweet crepes and savory crepes to work with any type of palette. We recommend getting the La Belle Mere to split with your partner and a huge cup of coffee to start your day in the best way possible.

Go Golfing

After a cup of coffee and a hearty breakfast, it’s time to burn off those calories! Head to one of the numerous golf courses in Mont-Tremblant to walk a few thousand steps, test your luck at the golf swings, and see if you can get a hole-in-one. There are numerous golf courses, ranging from pro courses to those that are good for beginners. We recommend starting at Golf Le Diable, a breathtaking course that has sharp turns, red bunkers, long fairways, and over 7,000 yards of the course.

Next, check out Le Geant Golf Course, featuring large pine trees, plateaus, mountainside views, rolling green hills, and dramatic landscapes. What more could you want on a sunny afternoon out of the house? This golf course is open from June 9th, meaning you can make use of this pristine course every single day during your fall getaway. This 180-hole championship course is a par 72 and features over 6,800 yards!

Head Out on a Hiking Trail

Last but not least, Mont-Tremblant is ideal for going hiking on a sunny day! Luckily for you, most of the days here in Mont-Tremblant are sunny and feature long days that are ideal for you to tackle a nearby peak or walk through a lush green pine forest.

Try the Les Ruisseaux trail for a family-friendly hike with your kids. You can also head to a nearby lake to jump in and cool off in Lake Tremblant via the Beach and Tennis Club. If you are interested in a slightly more challenging trail, try the Mont-Tremblant via le Vertigo moderate trail. Lastly, for those expert hikers who really want a challenge, we recommend the Summit of Mont-Tremblant via the Grand Brule Lopo or the Les Caps trail. We guarantee that you will have an unforgettable experience with your friends or family taking on this feat!

The Activity Centre offers activities and attractions for kids of all ages and fitness levels, such as sleigh riding, horse drawn carriage rides, canoeing with the family, treetop walks, ice fishing, and much more. We recommend doing the horse-drawn sleigh ride and carriage rides through the fresh snowfall if you have young kids when you come here in the wintertime!

For your children, order French toast with cranberries for them to split!

For the second day of vacation, it is time to head to a kid-friendly favorite – Maison de la Crepe! If your young children enjoy sweet snacks and the odd bite of chocolate or a spoonful of Nutella, then head to this creperie to try a few of the best combinations. We recommend trying the Grand Maman Gateau if you can only choose one.

Lastly, take your kids to Le Charlotte Cafe to pick up some flaky and buttery croissants to go on a nice picnic and walk. We love grabbing a few croissants and savory items, like bacon or sausage, and going on a walk to Parc des Chutes, Domaine Saint Bernard, or Ski de Fond Mont-Tremblant to enjoy exercise and burn off some breakfast calories.

Go Shopping

Last but not least, you may have forgotten to pack something in your suitcase – or your kids just love to go shopping! In this case, we recommend going to one of the numerous children’s clothing stores or baby clothing stores to pick up a much-needed outfit for your child. If you head here during the winter, you can pick up a fluffy and warm jacket at Boutique Bebe NK Inc.

The last category of athlete ambassadors is hall of fame athletes, including Erik Guay, Jasey Jay Anderson, Ariane Lavigne, Jefrey Frsich, Caroline Calve, Robin Femy, and Magali Tisseyre.

The backdrop of the bright white mountains, snow-capped peaks, and blue lakes is the perfect area for Guay to train and test his skills on the mountain.

Although Guay has since retired, he used the Mont-Tremblant area to consistently train and build his career throughout his life. He competed in his first ski race when he was five and started professionally training at just age 12.

Making his way into the 2014 and 2015 seasons, Guay continued to the podium, rehabbing from his recent meniscus injury to his knee, and won a race in the beautiful country of Norway.

Mont-Tremblant is a beautiful city with a deep and interesting history. If you want to get to know your destination a bit before visiting, we’ve put together a brief guide to the history of Mont-Tremblant below for your enjoyment!

17th Century

The 17th century is when the story of Mont-Tremblant first begins! The Weskarini Algonquin Native American tribe were the first residents and inhabitants of the valley. The Riviere du Diable Valley featured fresh food and water for the Native Americans to use in their civilization. The Algonquins called the surrounding area ‘Soutana Trembling’ mountain due to its incredible stature and their belief it was made and inhabited by a Great Spirit.

19th Century

After the initial civilization in the 17th century, the Native American tribes were undisturbed for the next 200 or so years. That is, until approximately 1870, when the very end of the 19th century was marked by an influx of technology, people, settlers, and labor. Lumberjacks began moving into the area to chop down trees, the printing press was now used in the North, and workers started utilizing the Riviere du Diable and Le Boule et Rouge for transportation and extra work.

Other notable achievements during the 19th century included the founding of Pariosse Saint-Jovite, the founding of the municipality of the united townships of Salaberry and Grandison, and the arrival of the first train locomotive at the railway station.

20th Century

At the very beginning of the 20th century, transportation and opportunities for those in Mont-Tremblant expanded as the P’tit Train du Nord expanded and extended as far as Lac Mercier, one of the most famous and widely known lakes in the area. Electricity saw a change in the way the town was run, as a small-scale hydroelectric center on the Riviere du Diable provided electricity for homes by the village, railway station, and the Ruisseau Clair.

Just one year later, the Gray Rock Inn was built on the banks of the lake and run by the famous Wheeler family. 5 years later, a new hydroelectric center was built on the Ruisseau Noir and created a new electric distribution to more areas of the town. Three years later, in 1915, the Municipality de Lac-Trembalnt-Nord was officially founded.

Throughout the 20th century, the town saw many important changes begin to take place and alter the way in which the inhabitants lived and flourished within the country. Joseph Bondurant Ryan became the first owner of the Mont-Tremblant Lodge, which would later go on to be called Mont-Tremblant Resort, back in 1938. One year later, they launched the first ski lift that runs from the mountain lodge to 4,200 feet high above the ground. Just 12 months after the chair lift innovation, the Municipality de Mont-Tremblant was founded, creating the beautiful area and municipality we know, and love, today.

Mont-Tremblant Resort was then acquired by Intrawest, a real estate development company, at the end of the 20th century, seeing it become the focus of even bigger and broader projects.

21st Century

At the turn of the century, the Ville de Mont-Tremblant was formed through the combination of four municipalities: Municipalité de Mont-Tremblant, Municipality de la Paroisse de Saint-Jovite, Ville de Saint-Jovite, and Municipalité de Lac-Tremblant-Nord. The Quebec government allowed Quebec citizens to then merge into these municipalities.

In the period between 2006-2008, the Municipal Court, Passerelle du Ruisseau Clair, and Municipal Garage were all created. The Jackrabbit Bridge was built one year later and provided access via the La Villageoise de Mont-Tremblant Trail and the Beauvallon Bridge.

Current Times

Today, Mont-Tremblant is home to almost 11,000 inhabitants, with most of the people living in approximately 5,400 dwellings. Mont-Tremblant features a land area of just under 91 square miles and has a population density of almost 122 people per square mile, according to the latest 2021 Census Population by Statistics Canada.

The population has steadily grown throughout the years, showing how the tourism industry and media have influenced the town today. The population was just over 8,300 in 2001 and has since increased to almost 11,000 in 2021, showing a growth of almost 3,000 people in the last 20 years. 87% of individuals here speak French as their first language, with 8% speaking English and 2.8% speaking other languages.
