Mont-Tremblant National Park, things to do in summer and winter

Mont-Tremblant National Park is the first park ever created in Québec. Founded in 1895, it covers 1,510 km² and has more than 400 lakes and six rivers. From Chalet Caragana, the entrance to the La Diable sector, via chemin du Lac-Supérieur, is 10 minutes away by car.

Summer

• Hiking. 82 kilometres of trails, including La Roche and the Corniche lookout, with the Chute du Diable waterfall as a classic stop.
• Beach. Crémaillère beach, in the La Diable sector. Swimming is unsupervised.
• Canoeing and kayaking. Rentals on several lakes and the Méandres de la Diable river trip.
• Cycling. 124 kilometres over eight routes, from mid-May to mid-October.
• Via ferrata du Diable. A fixed-cable climbing route done safely with a guide.

Fall

Fall colours usually peak in late September and early October. The La Diable sector trails and the shores of Lac Monroe are among the best places to see them.

Winter

According to Sépaq, the La Diable sector offers 55 kilometres of classic cross-country ski trails. The park also has more than 48 kilometres of snowshoe trails and more than 80 kilometres of backcountry Nordic ski trails. The season usually runs from mid-December to mid-March, depending on snow.

At night

Since August 2023, the park has been Québec's first International Dark Sky Park, certified by DarkSky International. Clear nights there are spectacular.
