A mountain, a resort and a national park
Mont Tremblant stands within Mont-Tremblant National Park, a protected area created in the nineteenth century that covers more than 1,500 square kilometres of boreal forest, lakes and river valleys.Mont-Tremblant National Park The park contains hundreds of lakes and extensive mixed woodland, with the Diable and Pimbina sectors forming two main visitor areas linked by the broader landscape.two main visitor areas
The ski resort known as Mont Tremblant Resort occupies the southern slopes of the mountain near Lake Tremblant and has been developed as a four-season destination in the Laurentians.Mont Tremblant Resort The first lift on these slopes opened in 1939, marking the beginning of organised downhill skiing at the site and setting the mountain on its long-established path as a winter sports centre.first ski lift opened in 1939
Laurentian height and shaped ski terrain
The summit of the resort area reaches around 875 m (2,871 ft), with a south-side vertical drop of 645 m (2,116 ft) from the upper lifts down to the base areas.summit and vertical drop That height difference is spread across four distinct sides of the mountain, giving skiers and snowboarders a network of trails that occupy glades, groomed slopes and longer descents in varied light and orientation.four distinct sides
The ski area covers just over 300 hectares (around 760 acres), with more than 80 km (50 mi) of marked trails including a longest run of approximately 6 km (3.7 mi).ski area statistics Lift infrastructure includes gondolas, high-speed detachable chairlifts and other surface lifts arranged to reach the different faces of the mountain, and extensive snowmaking equipment covers a large proportion of the skiable terrain.snowmaking system
The pedestrian village and wider Mont-Tremblant
At the foot of the mountain, the resort’s pedestrian village forms a compact built environment of hotels, apartments, shops and restaurants connected by walkways rather than streets for cars.Pedestrian Village It sits at the base of the lifts and is one of three main settlements in Mont-Tremblant, alongside the Old Village and the St-Jovite area known locally as “Centre-Ville”.three separate villages
