Skiing is one of the great reasons to come to Mont-Tremblant. But it would be a shame to leave without seeing what lies beyond the slopes. Why not discover the region in a different way: other landscapes, other rhythms, and above all the people who know this land better than anyone. By adding a few outdoor activities between your ski days, you open yourself up to a whole other side of the Quebec winter.
Carving down a run is one way to experience the mountain. But the Mont-Tremblant region is also deep forests, frozen lakes, quiet trails, and traditions passed down for generations. By giving a few days of your week to something other than skiing, you’ll:
It’s often what stays with our guests the most: the people. Our guides aren’t just there to lead the way, they’re passionate about where they’re from: mushers, woodsmen, people who love the Quebec forest. Take the time to talk with them: they know the trails, the wildlife, the local stories, and they love to share them. A day with one of our guides is as much about meeting them as it is about experiencing an activity.
You don’t need to plan everything or lock yourself into a program. The idea is simply to slip a day or two of adventure between your ski days, depending on what your group feels like. Here are a few of our activities that’ll take you somewhere amazing.
Race behind a team of Nordic dogs through the snowy forest, guided by a musher who lives and breathes dogsledding. On most rides, you’ll even take control of the sled yourself. It’s one of the most iconic Canadian experiences there is, peaceful and exhilarating all at once.
An elevated walkway that climbs gently to a panoramic tower, with almost no effort. The 360-degree view over the Laurentians, and in the evening, the Lumagica illuminations for a magical atmosphere. Another way to take in the heights, far from the chairlifts.
A Quebec winter classic; snowmobiling was invented here. Follow your guide along the trails and discover landscapes you’d never have seen otherwise. A great way to cover some ground and feel the sheer scale of the region.
Spend a day alongside a real woodsman and learn his traditional skills. An authentic immersion into Quebec’s rural culture and the forest, and a meeting you won’t forget.
A signature experience like dog sledding, an immersive encounter like the Day with a Woodsman, a panoramic discovery like the Treetop Walk: it’s up to you to choose what’ll take you the furthest.
Here’s one way to mix up a seven-night week, to adapt however you like:
The point isn’t to fill every day, but to vary them: you’ll head home with a real sense of the region, and far more memories than a straight week of skiing.
