Smartwool at Tremblant: Merino Wool for Every Adventure

Every season brings its share of adventures at Tremblant. Before you click into your skis or hit the trails, one simple choice makes all the difference: choosing the right base layer. And for that, nothing beats merino wool.

Introduction to Smartwool Merino Wool

Nothing transforms an active day quite like the comfort of a merino wool base layer. But what exactly is merino, and why is it so prized by outdoor enthusiasts? This wool comes from merino sheep, mainly raised in New Zealand, known for their exceptionally fine fibers, often between 15 and 24 microns. It’s this fineness that makes merino incredibly soft to the touch, comfortable to wear directly on the skin, without the itch that ordinary wool can cause.

Smartwool Merino’s technical qualities make it an invaluable companion in the mountains. Its curly fibers create tiny air pockets that naturally regulate temperature: they trap heat when temperatures drop and allow your skin to breathe as you warm up after exertion. Merino wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture while staying dry to the touch, then release it as vapor to maintain constant comfort. It’s naturally odor-resistant thanks to its antibacterial properties and adapts easily to changing conditions, making it the perfect choice for active days in the mountains. Soft, breathable, and versatile, Smartwool products turn every outing at Tremblant into a comfortable, high-performance experience, whether skiing, hiking, or simply enjoying the mountain.

Smartwool Merino Wool for Every Sport

Say goodbye to unpleasant odors after a long day on the slopes or trails! Merino wool is naturally warm, breathable, and antimicrobial. It’s the ideal choice if you’re looking for a versatile layer that you’ll use across all your activities. Easy to care for, most pieces are machine washable, but air-drying will keep them in top shape for years.
