Family outings in Mont-Tremblant
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.

Tremblant Pedestrian Village
Colourful car-free streets, shops, terraces and a festive atmosphere at the foot of the mountain. Easy to stroll, with or without a stroller.

A gondola ride to the summit for 360-degree views over the Laurentians, especially lovely in fall. Tickets are paid; check the season's opening.

Lake access for swimming, picnics and sandcastles against a mountain backdrop. A summer family classic.
Le P'tit Train du Nord Linear Park
A flat, well-kept former rail trail, ideal for cycling or walking with young kids. Free, with rest stops in each village.
