Mont-Tremblant
Go for 2 nights if you ski or want a resort weekend; 1 night is enough in summer. Skip if you want a real town — the pedestrian village is built, not grown.
Mont-Tremblant is two places: the old village (now called Vieux-Tremblant, near St-Jovite) and the pedestrian resort village 13 km away at the foot of the mountain, built from 1992 and closed to cars. Most visitors never leave the resort. Skiing runs roughly November to April; summer fills the same streets with gondola rides, luge and lake swimming. It is a resort, not a city: budget accordingly, and book beds early because the same room can triple on a winter holiday weekend.

Get around
The resort village is car-free and walkable; a free gondola links the lower village to the lifts. Everything else needs a car or the regional bus: Transport collectif intermunicipal Laurentides runs between St-Jovite, the resort and Saint-Jérôme, with connections onward to Montréal. Parking is free on the north side.

Etiquette, safety and scams
Etiquette
- Greeting: Handshake; 'Bonjour' first in Québec; avoid: Assuming everyone speaks English
- Queues: Line up and wait your turn; avoid: Pushing in
- Apologising: 'Sorry' is politeness, not admission of fault; avoid: Loud confrontation
- Canada vs US: Treat Canada as its own country; avoid: Calling Canadians American
- Indigenous culture: Buy from Indigenous-owned businesses and ask before photos at ceremonies; avoid: Wearing headdresses as costume
Scams and watch-outs
- Winter tires are required by law in Québec for Québec-registered vehicles from 1 December to 15 March; advisable for all cars.
- Resort prices are high — the village supermarket and convenience stores cost more than St-Jovite.
- Room rates swing hard: under $100 on a wet fall weekday, over $400 on a winter holiday weekend.
- The pedestrian village is a built resort, not a historic town; if you want old Québec, base elsewhere.
- Some summer and winter activities are seasonal and weather-dependent: confirm before you book.
Very safe for a resort town; the real risks are winter driving on Route 117, cold exposure on the mountain, and alcohol at après-ski. 911 for everything.
