When To Go

As the resort is equally as good in the summer as it is in winter, when you go should really depend on what you want to do. Ski season runs from November to April and, unsurprisingly, is busy constantly. Most summer attractions are open from May to October, when the weather is generally good but still cold in the higher regions.

Top 5 Places To Stay

• Fairmont Tremblant

  Offering ski-in/ski-out access, this year-round chateau-style resort stands at the base of Mont Tremblant. Rustically elegant guestrooms provide internet access, fluffy duvets, minibars and windows that open to mountain air. There is also a spa and health club, indoor and outdoor pools, and spa tubs. Windigo Restaurant offers buffet dining.

• Les Suites Tremblant

  Located at the centre of the pedestrian village, guests at Les Suites Tremblant receive complimentary gondola and beach access in the summer, a guided mountain tour on skis in the winter and a discount booklet. Some rooms have fireplaces, and there is ski in/ski out access too.

• Hotel Quintessence

  On the shores of Lac Tremblant, this boutique hotel is next door to Mont Tremblant Resort and one-kilometre from the marina at the Nautic Center. Guestrooms offer beds with Egyptian-cotton linens, wood-burning fireplaces and lake views. There is an in-house restaurant and bar, and the health spa includes an outdoor infinity pool.

• Le Grand Lodge Mont Tremblant

  Standing along the shores of Lake Ouimet, this Scandinavian-style log hotel is a five-minute drive from the Mont Tremblant ski area. The spacious studios and suites feature gas fireplaces and views of the lake, sunset or garden. Suites also have full kitchens.

• Chateau Beauvallon

  This resort is set amid the Laurentian Mountains, within two-kilometres of both the slopes and a number of championship golf courses (complimentary shuttles travel to all). Suites with kitchenettes and fireplaces also feature spacious balconies with views of the landscaped courtyard, lake and mountains. Other amenities include indoor/outdoor pools, an outdoor spa tub and family-friendly dining.

Top 5 Things To Do On Your Visit

• Scandinavian Baths

  Roughly five-minutes drive from Tremblant, the Scandinavian Baths offer outdoor hot tubs, river swimming, a Nordic waterfall and Swedish massage. Perfect relaxation.

• White water rafting

  The Rough River is great for a bit of rafting or kayaking on. Experience isn’t really important as the activity is so popular that you can be split into relevant groups in terms of ability. Family rafting, with the help of guides, is also available.

• Corniche Trail

  The Corniche Trail is made mostly of crushed stone, and is a pretty challenging hike (there’s an altitude chance of 180m). But it’s worth it. Once you reach lookout point and take in the wonderful scenery you’ll thank yourself for making the effort.

• Summer luge ride

  Hurtling down 1.4km of the mountainside in the blazing sunshine is bound to get the adrenalin pumping. Although it may seem treacherous at first, the luge ride is so safe that even children can have a go.

• Ice

  During ski season, Tremblant comes alive with ice sculptures, a couple of ice bars and even ice slides for children. The village of Place St-Bernard is one of the most interesting places, and it is also well known for the giant chair, which dwarfs everyone who sits on it.
