Tremblant Resort Guide
Insider tips from our team
General
- Transportation - Tremblant offers a complimentary resort shuttle for all lodging guests. It runs approximately every 10 minutes at established stops throughout the resort. Please note that children 14 years and under must be accompanied by an adult. Most of the accommodation is ski in ski out due to the cabriolet lift that runs from the base of the village to the base of the lifts.
- Weather - It does get cold in Tremblant particularly in December to early February so we recommend that you prepare for the cold - face masks will make skiing a lot more enjoyable! There are plenty of places to buy extra layers in resort.
- Supermarkets - The Magasin Général is great for all your essentials. They have a choice of beer and wine, groceries, fresh fruits and vegetables, fine cheeses, pastries, frozen meals, newspapers, personal hygiene, tobacco products and some drugstore items. For alcoholic beverages the Société des Alcools du Québec is your best bet.
- Pharmacy - Please note there is no pharmacy in resort.
The Skiing
The ski area offers a surprisingly large variety of skiing with over half the mountain appropriate for advanced skiers. Novices will appreciate being able to ski down from nearly any lift, making life much easier for mixed-ability groups. For the more adventurous there is some fantastic glade skiing and three snowparks.
- Make use of the free mountain hosting to get yourself orientated on the first day. They meet each day at the top of the Telecabine Express, at the large piste map as you come off the gondola.
- On-mountain stop recommendation - Le Refuge off the right of Le Soleil chair is a great little place to stop with a real cosy cabin feel. Good for a mid-afternoon snack.
Activities
- Activity Centre - Tremblant offers so much more than just skiing. Dog-sledding, ice climbing, e-fat biking and snowmobiling are just some of the fantastic activities the whole family can enjoy and they can all be booked at the activity centre at the base of the Télécabine.
- Le Scandinave Spa - An absolute must on a trip to Tremblant, just 10 minutes outside of the resort - saunas, steam rooms, hot and cold pools and for those brave enough, a dip in the river. We suggest going in the early evening. You'll find around two hours in the baths enough and then you can chill out afterwards in the upstairs cafe. The concierge at your accommodation will be able to book for you and organise transportation if you don't have your own car.
- Brind'O Aquaclub - A brilliant adventure pool with four slides, 35 "interactive water games", and a whirlpool. There's a family indoor hot tub and an outdoor hot tub for adults only.
- Casino de Mont-Tremblant - The casino is open Thursday to Sunday.
- Mission Laser & Mission Liberté - Laser Tag and an Escape Room!
Bars and Restaurants
Tremblant has a fantastic range of dining options to suit all budgets and tastes: from fondue and raclette to Mexican and Asian, plus plenty of grills and resto-pubs. For a complete overview, see Tremblant's dining guide.
Here are some of our favourites:
- La Forge - a mix of Canadian and French food, with a fine dining section upstairs.
- O Wok - excellent Asian cuisine in a cosy atmosphere.
- Pizzateria - fantastic pizza. They even have a covered terrace with heat lamps so you can feel like you're dining al fresco!
- Axe Lounge Bar - at the Fairmont, the bar offers personalised cocktails from the resident mixologists. Have a chat with them about your likes and dislikes and they'll whip something special up for you.
- La Diable - microbrewery and good food. Lively atmosphere, even for lunch.
