The Mont Tremblant Itinerary for a Stress-Free Summer Trip
A family trip to Mont-Tremblant doesn’t have to mean just skiing in winter. If you’re searching for a summer Mont Tremblant Itinerary that works for families, you’ll find there’s plenty to do when the snow is gone too.
When I first planned this trip, I wondered if we’d find enough to do while visiting Mont Tremblant in summer to keep our busy kids entertained. I pictured the mountain as mostly a winter destination, but we left wishing we had stayed longer.
We arrived in Mont-Tremblant from Montreal, checked in, parked the car, and didn’t touch it again for days. Everything we needed was right in the pedestrian village: trails, lifts, playgrounds, unique activities (we’ve never done before), indoor water fun, and plenty of good food.
If you’re planning a few days in Mont-Tremblant with kids, here’s exactly how we filled our days (rain or shine), plus what we’d recommend next time if you have a little more time to play.

Day 1 – Arrival and Evening in the Village
We landed at Montreal’s Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport in the afternoon and hit the road right away. Mont-Tremblant is about 130 km from the city, but with traffic it’s smart to plan for at least two hours of driving.
If you have extra time on the way, there are some fun stops to break up the drive:
- Visiting the Village du Père Noël in Val-David is perfect with younger kids.
- Wandering around Saint-Sauveur for a quick lunch and some small-town charm. We stopped there on the way back and loved our lunch at Ébou Bakery.
We checked into La Tour des Voyageurs, which turned out to be one of the best decisions of the trip. This hotel sits right at the entrance of the pedestrian village, steps away from the Cabriolet lift.
After unpacking, we explored the village on foot. We stopped for a bit of window shopping, found the kids’ playground right next to Chocolato, and let the kids burn off some energy. We had dinner at Yama-No-Kami, a Japanese pub tucked at the bottom of the ski slopes. The food was fresh and tasty, but it’s good to know it’s on the pricier side.
After a travel day, it felt good to stretch our legs, enjoy the mountain air, and start to get our bearings in the village before the busy days ahead.
Day 2 – Ski, Birds of Prey and Luge
We started our first full day with a slow breakfast in our room. Having a kitchen made mornings so much easier. Once everyone was ready, we grabbed our gear and hopped on the Cabriolet to the Upper Village.
First stop: Summer Skiing
Summer skiing was the highlight for my kids. They skied for over an hour on this cool synthetic sliding mat. All the gear was included (boots, skis and helmets) and you can even book a short lesson too if your kids want some extra help. Plus, this activity is included in the Mont-Tremblant activity card. Watching them ski on a green slope in the middle of summer felt pretty special.
After skiing, we strolled through the Upper Village shops, then headed back to the hotel for an early lunch and some pool time. The kids splashed in the outdoor heated pool while our pizzas finished baking. We ate poolside, soaked up the sun, and got ready for the next adventure.
Second stop: Panoramic Gondola
Next up was a ride up the Panoramic Gondola for the Birds of Prey Show at the summit. There are two shows each day, one at 11:30 AM and another at 2 PM. We chose the afternoon one, which gave us plenty of time. The show was about 45 minutes long and featured six different birds, including a bald eagle, owls, hawks and kestrels.
The kids were amazed by how close they could get. My son even got to stand at the front while a bird perched right on his glove, one of his favourite memories of the trip. The show is all about protecting nature and learning more about these amazing animals.
After the show, we rode the Gondola back down and squeezed in one last thrill.
Third stop: Skyline Luge Tremblant
The Skyline luge track is 1,400 metres of twists and turns down the mountain. This was my favourite activity! It’s different from the mountain coasters we saw in the Canadian Rockies because the carts aren’t attached to rails, which makes it feel a bit like driving a bumper car.
Our ticket included two rides, which was perfect because the kids couldn’t get enough. Just remember to pack bug repellent. The mosquitoes at the top were busy when we visited.
After a full day, we walked to The Shack for dinner. We shared poke nachos, smoked salmon, burgers and a steak. We left room for a BeaverTail for dessert, because you can’t visit Tremblant and skip the BeaverTail stand.
The kids went to bed exhausted, which is always a sign of a good day.
Day 3 – Escape Room, Aquaclub and Tonga Lumina
We woke up on our last full day to cloudy skies and a lot of rain (especially in the morning), but Mont-Tremblant has plenty to keep families busy indoors too. We took our time in the morning, made breakfast in the room, and relaxed while the kids played with some toys we had packed.
First stop: Mission Liberté
Late morning, we headed out for something new for us: an Escape Room (included in the Mont-Tremblant activity card). We booked the Enchanted Forest room, which was perfect for our kids’ ages (six and eight). It was our first time trying an escape game as a family, and we had so much fun solving the clues together. We finished with twelve minutes to spare, which felt like a big win for the kids.
After the escape room, we stopped at Café Johannsen for lunch. Sandwiches, warm drinks, and a quick break to recharge before our next stop.
Second strop: the brind’O Aquaclub
This indoor water park turned out to be the best choice for a rainy day. Plus, it’s included in the Mont-Tremblant activity card. There are waterslides, a splash area, and indoor and outdoor hot tubs. There’s also a large outdoor pool if the weather cooperates (which the kids had the chance to enjoy a bit too).
The kids played for hours and probably would have stayed all day if we let them.
Before dinner, we squeezed in one last activity: laser tag. We booked our game ahead of time and the kids played three five-minute matches. It was a fun way to wind down their energy before we sat down to eat.
Dinner that night was at Resto-Pub Le Q.G. Mont-Tremblant. This spot was a great pick for families. The patio overlooks the kids’ playground, so while we waited for food, the kids ran and climbed and made new friends. My beef salmon was delicious, and the kids were happy and hungry after so much playing.
We grabbed a final treat at Chocolato, right next to the playground, then ended the day with something really special.
Third stop: Tonga Lumina
Just after sunset, we rode the Flying Mile chairlift up the mountain to the start of the trail. Tonga Lumina is an illuminated forest walk with music, lights, and a magical story about Tremblant’s legendary sleeping giant. It’s one of the activities included in the multi-activity bundle.
The 1.5 km path weaves through the woods and over small streams. It was late for the kids, but they loved it and we didn’t mind the sleepy yawns the next morning. It felt like walking through an enchanted forest. It was really magical and the perfect way to end our summer visit to Mont Tremblant.
If You Have an Extra Day to Add to Your Mont Tremblant Itinerary
We didn’t get to do everything we planned, so if you have an extra day (or two) in Mont-Tremblant, here are a few more ideas to keep kids busy.
- Relax at Parc de la Plage: Guests at La Tour des Voyageurs (and other hotels in the pedestrian village) get free access to the beach at Parc de la Plage. It’s an easy walk from the hotel and a nice way to cool off on a warm day. Bring towels, sand toys, and snacks and plan to stay for a few hours.
- Visit Sentier des Cimes: This spot was high on our list but we ran out of time. Located about halfway between Tremblant and Saint-Sauveur, Sentier des Cimes is a treetop walkway that leads to a panoramic tower with amazing views of the Laurentians. It’s an easy half-day stop, especially if you’re driving in or out of the area.
There’s always something more to do at Tremblant. Next time, we plan to try mini golf, the ropes course, and maybe even more time by the pool.
Where to Stay in Mont-Tremblant: La Tour des Voyageurs
We stayed at La Tour des Voyageurs and it worked perfectly for our family. The location is hard to beat. It’s right at the entrance to the pedestrian village, only steps from the Cabriolet lift. We parked the car when we arrived and didn’t touch it again until it was time to leave.
Our room (One-Bedroom Suite) was spacious and was like a small apartment. We had a separate bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, a living room, and a patio for morning coffee. The kids loved the outdoor heated pool and hot tub. There were plenty of tables outside too, so we could eat lunch by the pool while the kids played.
Another bonus was its proximity to one of the village’s playgrounds and the large grassy area. We could walk to dinner, ice cream, or the beach without needing to load everyone into the car. For families, having everything within walking distance makes a huge difference.
Final Thoughts: Mont-Tremblant Itinerary for a Summer Visit
Mont-Tremblant was a reminder that you don’t need to visit in winter to have an amazing family adventure. Between summer skiing, the Birds of Prey show, the luge, indoor water fun, playgrounds, and evening shows like Tonga Lumina, our days were full from morning to night.
Even on rainy days, there’s so much for kids to do without feeling stuck indoors. And the best part? Once you’re checked in, you can explore everything on foot or by lift. No long drives, no stress, just fresh air, good food, and lots of fun.
If you’re planning a few days at Mont-Tremblant with kids, I hope this helps you see just how much you can fit in, and maybe you’ll even squeeze in a few things we didn’t have time for.
