MONT TREMBLANT RESORT- GENERAL INFORMATION
Mont Tremblant pedestrian village is located at the base of the mountain on the south side and now at Versant Sud. The resort is a large area but all of its features and attractions can be reached on foot along the pedestrian walkways. There is also a free sky ride from the lower village to the upper village. A new addition is the Gondola from the South Village to Etolie du Matin and Versant Sud and new Tremblant Casino - Casion Mont Tremblant.
The main Gondola provides access to the mountain top during the summer as well as the ski season. The view from the peak is phenomenal, particularly during the fall when the leaves are at their peak.
Tremblant resort is essentially self contained and once you check in you'll find little that isn't available on site. There is great accommodation in a variety of styles and price ranges, while the Mont Tremblant Region has hundreds more. There are exceptional restaurants within the resort and lots more in the Tremblant Region. Shoppers will be able to peruse a wide variety of merchandise available from the dozens of boutiques and specialty shops. More information is available at two kiosks onsite.
The Mont Tremblant Region is made up of three sectors, the resort, and the Old Village of Mont Tremblant and Saint-Jovite. All the sectors are just a short drive from each other or you can access them with the regional shuttle.

The Laurentians have all of the attractions and amenities you might expect of such a region including some of the best resorts, accommodations, bars and restaurants in North America.
