Lunch will be followed by a hike (with or without snowshoes) where you will be right in some fascinating wildlife habitats (beaver dams, deer runs, wolf hunting grounds, partridges, snowy owls, coyotes and Canadian lynx).

Comments: We did “A Day with a Woodman” tour. It was fantastic. Every one of our 5 kids loved it as did we. Our guide Alex was great. He was friendly, super knowledgeable and really passionate about what he does. It was worth every penny.

Comments: Day with the trapper was excellent. Alex was our Trapper and he seemed to enjoy sharing his knowledge and expertise with us which helped make our experience even more enjoyable. We had no expectations of what to expect during this day. Alex explained some options to us and shaped the time around us. The trout catching was quite a highlight and after lunch Alex was very patient with us and waited while we looked at the dog teams and talked with the dog trainer near by. It all helped shape our day and our experience is something we will not forget. Day with a Trapper is a super activity and one we would like to do again and try some of the other activities this team run. Please thank Alex for making our experience a super one.

Comments: we were told that the activity was appropriate for children which we had a 5 and a 7 year old. the guide whose name was Alex was VERY IMPATIENT with the children when they asked a lot of questions. and he repeatedly asked them to stop asking questions. As well he smoked in front of us and the children which was totally not appropriate!

Client selected: This activity was good, but not our favorite part of our vacation experience.

Management Response:

Hi,

Thanks so much for letting us know.

Our day with a trapper is designed for families with kids, but you are absolutely right; guides should never smoke while working(even if they are paratroopers from France like Alex). We have spoken to him and it seems he was having a tough day. We're really sorry and will be contacting you directly to make amends.

Comments: 5 Hours is too long for this kind of family activity. 3 hours would have been perfect. THe guide's english was poor.

How did your activity affect your overall vacation experience at Tremblant?
Client selected: This activity was OK, but I wouldn't do it again.

Management Response:

Hi. I did it with my kids and 5 hours was perfect, but it was a sunny fall day... not raining. The 5 hours was filled with lots of fun stuff and a 1 hour lunch break while handling a table full of survival gear and gadgets. I think the weather may have been a factor.

Yes, that day there was a guide scheduling problem. His english was not to an acceptable level. We will contact you to make ammends.
