Mont-Tremblant, Québec: A Four-Season Escape in the Laurentians
Mont-Tremblant, Québec: A Four-Season Escape in the Laurentians
There are places that belong to a particular season—and then there is Mont-Tremblant.
Set in Québec's Laurentian Mountains, about 130 kilometres northwest of Montréal, Mont-Tremblant combines a colourful pedestrian village, mountain scenery, lakes, forests, restaurants, boutiques, spas and an extraordinary range of outdoor activities. It is a destination that changes dramatically with the seasons, making it equally appealing for an autumn escape, a snowy winter holiday or a summer retreat. (Hotel Quintessence)
The resort itself sits at the foot of Mont-Tremblant, while the surrounding area includes the Old Village, downtown Saint-Jovite and Parc national du Mont-Tremblant, giving visitors considerably more to explore than the ski slopes alone.
🍁 Fall: A Laurentian Spectacle
Fall may be the most visually dramatic time to visit.
The Laurentian forests turn brilliant shades of gold, orange and red, surrounding the mountain and reflecting across the region's lakes. Mont-Tremblant's official tourism calendar lists autumn events and activities throughout September and October, including the Color Odyssey treetop experience, fall music events and the Trail des couleurs.
