The Refuge du Trappeur is a hidden gem in Tremblant, a place where rustic charm and mountain spirit come together to create a memorable experience. Nestled halfway up Versant Soleil, this log cabin, surrounded by forest, sits discreetly between two ski slopes, offering a well-deserved break from the hustle and bustle. With its wood stove that radiates comforting warmth, its picturesque terrace that overlooks the majestic landscapes of the Laurentians and, on occasion, the presence of a singer who adds a musical touch to the atmosphere, Le Refuge is the epitome of alpine authenticity.
During the winter season, it becomes a must-see stop for skiers and snowboarders, who come to enjoy a hearty homemade stew or warm up with a hot beverage like hot chocolate or mulled wine, not to mention beer lovers who enjoy a local selection. Whether for a quick break or a moment of extended relaxation, the Refuge du Trappeur invites you to slow down, admire the surrounding beauty and connect with the unique spirit of Tremblant.
As an authentic forest cabin, the Refuge du Trappeur embraces its rustic charm—it has no running water but is equipped with a classic outhouse. What truly sets it apart, however, is its unique ambiance. On select days, guests are treated to live music by Richard Trépannier, a talented singer and guitarist whose performances create unforgettable moments for all in attendance.

How to get there?
To access the Refuge du Trappeur by ski or snowboard, descend the Laurentienne, Tiguidou or Toboggan trails from the top of Versant Soleil. Enjoy the magnificent landscapes as you descend these trails until about a third of the way down, where signs will guide you to this cabin in the woods. A perfect stop to enjoy a beautiful winter day in the mountains.
Snowshoe Fondue Evenings
On certain winter evenings, the Refuge du Trappeur hosts an unforgettable and authentic experience in the heart of the mountain. The Snowshoe Fondue adventure begins with a gondola ride to the summit, followed by a guided snowshoe hike through a snowy forest, leading to this rustic log cabin. Once there, guests enjoy a fondue feast of cheese, artisanal charcuterie, fresh salads and, to top it all off, a chocolate fondue accompanied by fresh fruit. The evening ends with a nighttime snowshoe descent, where the illuminated pedestrian village offers a magical setting to close this winter adventure.
We hope to see you at the Refuge this winter!
