7 Unexpected Ways To Unwind In Mont-Tremblant This Summer

Created for Tourism Mont-Tremblant and The Laurentians

Many of us know Mont-Tremblant for its legendary ski runs and bustling winter après-ski scene. But as the snow melts and the lush greenery of summer blooms, a softer, more restorative side emerges in the Laurentians. This is the season where the air feels lighter, the lake sparkles a little brighter, and life slows down.

For those looking to trade high-adrenaline thrills for a slower, more sophisticated escape, Mont-Tremblant is the ultimate summer sanctuary. The region offers luxurious low-key experiences spread across five key areas in the Mont-Tremblant region, allowing visitors to check several items off their self-care list in one easy trip.

From the vibrant Tremblant Resort and Le Village to the tranquil Parc national du Mont-Tremblant and Domaine Saint-Bernard to the historic charm of downtown, there’s a world of discovery in the heart of the Laurentians. So whether you’re planning a much-needed girls’ getaway or a romantic trip for two, here’s our essential guide to a slow-travel vacation this summer.

1. Savour the morning: tea rooms and artisanal cafés

Start your day by disconnecting from your devices and reconnecting over a delicious cuppa.

Lady T, located in downtown Mont-Tremblant (Saint-Jovite), offers an elegant tea experience that feels worlds away from the daily grind. If you find yourself in Saint-Jovite, wander through the local boutiques before settling in at one of the many sun-drenched café terraces to watch the world go by at a leisurely pace.

2. Deep relaxation: world-class spas

Mont-Tremblant is synonymous with wellness, and the region’s spa offerings are second to none. For a traditional Scandinavian circuit surrounded by serene forest, the Scandinave Spa Mont-Tremblant provides a silent, meditative atmosphere along the Diable River. For a more tailored experience, visit Moment Spa or Amerispa at the Tremblant Resort, or head to Spa Sans Sabots for a luxurious treatment that will leave you feeling completely rejuvenated.

3. Move with intention: wellness and yoga

Achieve the ultimate level of Zen with guided yoga experiences that ground you in the landscape. For a unique twist, try SUP yoga on the mirror-still lakes of the region. There’s nothing quite like finding your balance on a paddleboard while the morning mist rises off the lake.

4. Cruises and lakeside serenity

Water is the heartbeat of a Mont-Tremblant summer. Board Le Grand Manitou for a scenic cruise on Lake Tremblant, taking in the grand vacation homes and lush mountain peaks. For a more intimate, customized outing, D-Tour offers pontoon experiences that allow you to explore the hidden coves of the lake at your own pace.

5. Elegant evenings at the casino

When the sun sets, the energy shifts to something more sophisticated. The Casino de Mont-Tremblant (18+) offers an elevated atmosphere far beyond the gaming floor. Nestled in a stunning mountain setting, it’s a destination for a chic night out, featuring live entertainment and exceptional dining that makes for a perfect evening experience.

6. Culinary delights and boutique finds

Spend an afternoon exploring the high-end boutiques at the Tremblant Resort, then transition into a culinary journey. From the farm-to-table excellence found downtown (Darquise and sEb L’Artisan Culinaire being popular choices) to the fine dining terraces overlooking the pedestrian village, the emphasis is always on local flavours and inviting atmospheres. A few notable village spots include Choux Gras Brasserie Culinaire, Ekki Sushi and A Mano Trattoria, among others.  

7. Experiential lodging

To truly disconnect, skip the traditional hotel and opt for a stay that puts you in direct contact with the environment. Mont-Tremblant is home to a variety of experiential stays. Sleep under the stars in the domes at Bel Air Tremblant or get up close with nature in an ecological A-frame shelter at Farouche. You can also stay in one of Refuges Perchés treehouses or a glamping tent at Hotel Uniq. For water lovers, Kayak & Cabana’s cozy cabins have direct access to Rouge River for kayaking, canoeing and paddleboarding. 

Ready to start planning? Whether you are seeking a moment of silence in the Parc national du Mont-Tremblant or a leisurely afternoon of shopping and gastronomy, the perfect getaway for both thrills and chills await—emphasis on the chill.
