About Mont Tremblant

In the snowy heart of the Laurentian Mountains, just 80 miles from Montreal, lies the year-round resort of Mont Tremblant. The area was long settled by the Algonquin, who named it "Manitanga Soutana" - or, mountain of the spirits - and it's easy to see why: the landscape is enchantingly beautiful, filled with lakes and mountains.

Mont Tremblant town itself is a charming cobblestoned community, lined with buildings reminiscent of Montreal's Old Town. Featuring marigold, red and teal façades and roofs, these historic edifices house vintage shops, designer boutiques and gourmet restaurants. This is also where you'll find many of the best places to stay in Mont Tremblant.

Winter sports like skiing and dog-sledding are big here; the resort sits in an area of over 662 acres of pistes and boasts one of the best ski schools in North America. Once the snows have melted, there are golf courses, hiking and biking trails, canoeing on the lakes and many more outdoors pursuits.

A great centre for winter or summer sports, the resort makes for a wonderful family holiday destination. To guarantee a room in one of the best places to stay in Mont Tremblant during the busy peak seasons, you'll need to get organised and book well ahead.

James' top tip: If you're an experienced skier, rise early for Fresh Tracks on the resort's South Side. Hop aboard the Duncan ski lift and zip down top-notch runs such as Supérieur, Jasey-Jay Anderson, or Devil’s River for the very best skiing of the day. Mid-morning, aim to meet friends and family for a coffee and a chat at the Grand Manitou summit.
