Family outings in Mont-Tremblant

Québec · Updated August 7, 2026

Mont-Tremblant is a mountain destination built with families in mind: a colourful pedestrian village at the foot of the slopes, a large lake, trails and a national park nearby. In summer, days are split between the beach, cycling the P'tit Train du Nord and gondola views; in winter, the resort becomes a playground for skiing, snowboarding and snowy outings. In fall, the colours draw hikers. The village is walkable, but a car is handy for the national park and trails outside the resort. Pack layers in every season. Weekends in peak seasons can be busy, so book lodging and activities ahead of time.
