Mont-Tremblant is much more than just a mountain. It’s a living, breathing destination shaped by five distinct districts — each with its own energy, pace, and purpose. The best way to experience Mont-Tremblant? Don’t stay in just one spot. Each hub brings something unique. Explore them all — and you’ll understand why people keep coming back.
1. Downtown (centre-ville) — The Local Landmark
This is where local kids go to school and where residents come for everything: groceries, haircuts, a quick coffee, a browse through antique shops, or dinner with friends. Saint-Jovite Street is lively without being hectic. It’s got that small-town spirit — relaxed, friendly, and well rooted.
Looking to stay active? Head to the aquatic centre, the running track, the skate park, or hop on the P’tit Train du Nord trail. Prefer something more relaxed? Stroll along the Ruisseau Clair footbridge.
From the resort, a free municipal shuttle takes you straight to Downtown Mont-Tremblant. It’s a great spot for a last-minute outing, a good meal in town, or to stock up for your stay.
Things to do in downtown:
- Take advantage of everyday services: pharmacies, pet stores, banks…
- Visit the summer market to meet local producers and artisans.
- Stop at the grocery store or SAQ — many resort units have full kitchens or kitchenettes!
2. Domaine Saint-Bernard — The Nature Refuge
Just ten minutes from the resort, Domaine Saint-Bernard is the community’s best-kept secret — the perfect place to reconnect with nature, far from the bustle of busy urban life. You can walk, cycle, and reflect. Trails leading to Mont Onontio offer peaceful views, Lake Raynaud is perfect for a picnic, and the astronomy pavilion opens up the sky.
The Domaine is a living place, steeped in Indigenous heritage and a lasting educational mission. Today, it’s where people come to reconnect with nature, in its purest form.
From the resort, it’s easy to reach by bike, cross-country skis, or car — perfect when you need a breather after busier days.
Things to do at Domaine Saint-Bernard:
- Birdwatching in one of Quebec’s most beautiful natural sanctuaries.
- Join astronomy nights or workshops on nature and biodiversity.
- Work out in the forest on the Wheeler outdoor training trail.
- Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, biking on trails… See all activities
3. Village — The Spirit of Mont-Tremblant
The Village blends heritage charm with everyday life. It’s best discovered by bike, following the multifunction trail through the woods that leads to this peaceful neighborhood on the edge of Lac Mercier. Expect old-style cafés, cozy restaurants, local artists at Place de la Gare, and even a church turned performance venue.
Here, time slows down. You take the time to chat with shopkeepers and try to soak up the simplicity and authenticity.
From the resort, it’s an easy bike ride or free city bus trip away — just far enough to feel like a change of scene.
Things to do at Village:
- Play pickup hockey in the covered rink during winter.
- Cycle or ski the P’tit Train du Nord along Lac Mercier.
- Feel the adrenaline at Circuit Mont-Tremblant.
4. Parc National du Mont-Tremblant — Wild Adventure
When you really want to get away — but not too far — this is the place. Created in 1895, the Parc National du Mont-Tremblant is the oldest National Park in Quebec. It’s huge, raw, and accessible. Hundreds of lakes, dense forests, trails for all levels, canoeing, fishing, wildlife observation… This isn’t a quick stop. It’s a place to lose yourself a little — and that’s the beauty of it.
From the resort, it makes for the perfect day trip to expand your mountain experience into true wilderness.
Things to do in National Park:
- Hike year-round — some trails even connect directly to the resort.
- Spot loons, deer, or other fauna.
- Try the via Ferrata for a high-altitude thrill.
- Canoe trip on the Diable River, between Lac Chat and Mont de la Vache Noire.
5. Tremblant Resort — The Heart That Connects It All
This is where you come back between your adventures. A place to stay, relax and recuperate. And of course, enjoy everything this world class resort has to offer: the pedestrian village, the mountain, the restaurants, the casino, the free outdoor shows, the family activities…
In the morning, sip coffee with a mountain view. In the afternoon, take the gondola or ride the trails. In the evening, dine on a terrace or catch a show. This is your base. Your launch pad. Your Tremblant.
Things to discover at the resort:
- Alpine skiing, mountain biking, golf, and water sports.
