Mont Tremblant Ski Resort
The mountain and resort village are operated by Intrawest, also owners and operators of Whistler Blackcomb and other resorts. The mountain has an elevation of 875 metres, with skiing and boarding on four faces. There are 95 runs (the longest of which is 6km) including 16 novice runs, 31 intermediate and miles of expert terrain. There is also a superb snow park with 18 acres of ramps, rails and jumps, plus the130m Olympic calibre super-pipe.

The 14-lift state of the art system is designed to handle over 27,000 skiers per hour with the main Gondola, plus high-speed quads and magic carpets. There is snow from November to mid April, combining the natural falls with 1037 snow guns across the hill.

The North Side of the mountain offers skiers and snowboarders the best riding conditions due to the minimal sun exposure and tons of natural snow. Parking is also easier, yet you can ski the whole mountain from here, perhaps skiing down to the South Side and the resort for lunch. Our log cabin is only 8-10 minutes drive from the North side car park!

Ski and boarding equipment hire is available from several outlets on both the North and South sides. There is also a tune-up and repair workshop on both sides of the mountain.

The Intrawest resort operates an excellent ski and boarding school with over 300 instructors! There are weekend seasonal programmes, group lessons, private lessons, guided skiing and a disabled skier programme. Give your young kids a fun time while you ski in the kids day care programme.

Resort Pedestrian Village
The village at the base of the south side is a purpose-built resort hub in a European style. There are fourteen restaurants and cafés to suit a wide range of tastes, four bars, gift, clothing and other speciality shops, a cinema, indoor pool and spa and four art galleries. This is a destination in itself on your holiday.
