Tremblant sells you a ski village and a gondola — but the real walking is in the national park behind it, and on the old rail line through the valley.
Mont-Tremblant is two places that share a name. One is the resort — a pedestrian village of cobbles and chairlifts and patios, busy from the first snow to the last leaf. The other is the mountain behind it, and the national park beyond that: a vast stretch of lake and hardwood and granite, empty most of the time.
These five are the second Tremblant. A short climb to the cliff lookout over Lac Monroe, a longer walk along the valley floor, the steep haul to the roof of the Laurentians, the backcountry traverse that ties the park's sectors together, and the flat old rail line running through the valley below. Tap any one to open it in Foray if you've got the app, or just read it as a map.
The famous linear park — a paved rail-trail running more than 200 kilometres up the spine of the Laurentians, flat the whole way, and it passes right through Mont-Tremblant. This stretch runs the valley floor below the resort: easy, shaded in places, and the one outing here you can do on a rented bike. Cafés at either end.
The classic short climb in the park's Diable sector — a steady pull through hardwood to a bare rock shoulder above Lac Monroe, with the whole valley laid out below. Most people pair it with La Corniche, the next lookout along, and come down as a loop. Roots and rock near the top; worth the hour.
A longer trail through the Diable sector, mostly level, following the valley floor through deep hardwood and skirting the river. Less of a climb than the lookout trails — the appeal is the forest itself, big and quiet, with more moose sign than people. A good half-day out and back.
The name means the roof of the Laurentians, and the trail earns it — a long, steady climb to high open ground with views that run for miles on a clear day. Real ascent through changing forest the whole way; bring water, leave time, and check the sky before you commit to the top.
The long backcountry line that ties the park's service centres together — a true wilderness traverse, marked but remote, with rustic shelters spaced along it for those taking two days over it. The stretch here is one leg of it. For strong, prepared walkers only: no services, patchy signal, and weather that turns fast.
