Comments:  Domaine St Bernard was beautiful and we were lucky enough to experience it despite it having just reopened after a snow storm with power outages and trees down. The snowshoeing gear was high quality. Bernard at the desk was super kind, talkative and helpful. He recommended the trail to Mt Onontio. It was more strenuous than we bargained for (we were told 2-2.5 hrs and it took us closer to 4, trekking/ski poles would have helped) but the views and feeding the chickadees were great. It was my favorite activity in Tremblant by far!

Comments:  The Domaine was a great place to visit, we had a very enjoyable walk over a trail recommended by the friendly Bernard there. Chickadees basically accompanied us the entire time on the trail. The snowshoes were in good conditions & helped us a lot in treading over the terrain throughout.

Comments:  Loved the cross country ski lesson. The only reason I didn’t give it a 10/10 is because it was advertised as a 75 minute lesson but the instructor only stayed with us for 1 hour.

Comments:  Domaine St Bernard is gorgeous and the staff is wonderful. All the trails are perfectly marked, yet the forest does not feel overly groomed or intruded upon. Bravo to excellent conservation and stewardship.

Comments:  Everyone at the spa at the Fairmont was wonderful. I found it odd that the spa shares a locker room with the gym. The spa should have a locker attendant. After lunch, i tried to go to the locker room and the gym door was locked. Since i was not a guest of the hotel at the time, i could not get in. I have a mobility issue so traversing the steps was a difficult task.

Comments:  I wish that there was a means of transportation provided from our hotel to the Domaine St. Bernard and back. My husband drove me back and forth, but it disrupted his downhill skiing on the mountain. Otherwise, my experience was wonderful!

 Hi,

Thanks for the comments. In fact there is no dedicated transport. We usually recommend a taxi when guests ask, because its a short 15minute drive.

Comments:  I would make it easier to return the snowshoes - we got caught up behind a HUGE group checking in when we simply wanted to return the snowshoes and get our ID back. Other than that - it was great. Thought the free bird feed was a nice touch - we enjoyed feeding the chickadees!

Comments:  Very well organized trail system. We did an open snow shoe adventure from 9:30-12:00. Not sure why the reservation center reservation said we had to be there at 9:15 if we were going at our own pace for up to 3 hours. We ended up going for 1 hour and I would have preferred to choose a later hour in that 3 hour window. Ideally reservation should just say you can snow shoe up to any 3 hours arrive before your times lot is over.

Management Response:

 Hi,

Thanks for your feedback.

Our equipment goes out twice a day. So 9:15 rental needs to be back by 12:00 so that it is available for the afternoon. If you arrive later that your start time it cuts into your snowshoeing time. This is why we suggest you be on time.
