Easy & Family-Friendly Trails
360° Loop – 2.5 km | 45–60 min | 66 m elevation gain
This scenic loop circles the summit, offering stunning views in every direction. Great for kids, casual walkers, or photographers looking for inspiration. A great option if you want the views without the climb. Do it all or just part of it—it’s flexible and easy to enjoy.
“I walk it with my kids or go alone with my camera—it’s not long, but it’s full of variety.” – René-Pierre Normandeau
Les Ruisseaux – 2 km | 45–60 min | 82 m elevation gain
This gentle village loop features a waterfall, a footbridge, and peaceful resting spots along the way. Ideal for little legs or slow-paced strolls. Pack a snack and enjoy the sound of the streams.
“Short and simple, but with so many lovely spots—it’s great with kids.” – Michelle Pellerin
Moderate Trails
Nord-Sud – 5 km | Approx. 2.5 hrs
Connecting the North and Soleil mountainside bases, this intermediate trail passes through varied terrain and gives you some elevation without being overwhelming. A great choice for loop planning—start on one side of the mountain, finish on the other.
Sommets – 3.7 km | 1.5 hrs+
Linking Tremblant, Edge, and Johannsen peaks, this ridgeline route is all about panoramic views and crossing off summits. If you want bragging rights for hitting multiple summits in one hike, this one’s for you.
Strenuous Trails
Grand Prix des Couleurs – 2.9 km | 60–90 min | 611 m elevation gain
The fastest, steepest way up from the South base—following the ski slopes straight to the summit. Great for a workout or if you’re short on time but want a summit experience. Expect minimal shade.
“When I want to push myself, direct ascent through the ski slopes is where I’m headed!” – Dorian Baysset
Vertigo – 5.6 km | 1.5 hrs+ | 602 m elevation gain
This climb from the base to the summit offers sweeping views and just the right level of challenge for confident hikers. One of the best all-around trails—challenging but not overwhelming, with great photo ops.
Expert-Level & Wilderness Trails
Grand Brûlé – 5.6 km | 3 hrs+ | 640 m elevation gain
A twisting forest climb that’s both physically intense and full of visual rewards. Bring plenty of water and snacks and try to pace yourself. This one’s a full-body challenge, especially on hot days.
“Tough but beautiful—definitely worth the effort.” – Julie Le Sieur
Johannsen – 5 km | 3 hrs+ | 700 m elevation gain
Tremblant’s most remote trail, this rugged climb to Pic Johannsen is only for seasoned hikers. There is no cell service and limited access for rescue. Go with a buddy, tell someone your route, and plan for at least 4.5–5 hours. This is real backcountry terrain.
“A wild, peaceful trail—perfect for discovering new perspectives on the mountain.” – Simon Daigle
Trail Etiquette & Safety Tips
Before you lace up your boots, a few things to keep in mind:
- If you’re planning to take the panoramic gondola down, remember to purchase a pedestrian lift ticket in advance at the Customer Service counter or at Le Grand Manitou at the summit—and check the lift schedule before you start your hike.
- Dogs are allowed during the summer and fall seasons (on a leash no longer than 3 meters). They are not permitted on National Park lands, meaning the trails Parben, Johannsen, or conservation areas along Sommets.
- Please respect the environment by disposing of waste properly. Trash and recycling bins are located at the base and summit of the gondola.
- For emergencies, contact the mountain patrol at 819-681-5911 or local emergency services by calling 911.
