Hotels near Mont-Tremblant

Mont-Tremblant, at 875 m one of the highest summits in the southern Laurentians, sits beside Quebec's oldest national park, created in 1895. Its forests of sugar maple, red maple and birch turn scarlet, orange and yellow from late September to early October, earlier than in Montreal, making the area the classic fall foliage day trip from the city.

In the national park, the La Diable sector has short trails such as La Chute-du-Diable to a waterfall and the steeper La Roche viewpoint over Lac Monroe. Outside the park, the Tremblant resort's panoramic gondola climbs to the summit for views across the colour, and the pedestrian village at the base has restaurants for lunch. Autumn weekends are very busy, so weekdays are far easier.

Pro Tip: Check Quebec's fall colours map the week before, buy national park entry online, and leave Montreal early to beat Saturday traffic on Autoroute 15.
