Discover more about Parc national du Mont-Tremblant

Parc national du Mont-Tremblant, established in 1895, is a sprawling natural sanctuary covering 1,510 square kilometers in the Laurentides and Lanaudière regions of Québec. As the province's oldest national park, and the sixth oldest in North America, it holds a significant place in the history of protected areas. The park's vast territory encompasses six major rivers, nearly 400 lakes and streams, and a diverse landscape of forests and mountains. The park is divided into three main sectors: the Diable River valley, the Pimbina Creek area, and the Assomption River sector. Each offers unique opportunities for outdoor recreation and exploration. Visitors can enjoy a wide range of activities throughout the year, including hiking, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, fishing, and camping in the summer, and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and winter hiking in the winter. Mont-Tremblant National Park is a true paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Its vast wilderness, diverse ecosystems, and stunning scenery provide an unforgettable experience for all who visit. Whether you're seeking a challenging hike, a peaceful paddle, or a relaxing escape from the city, you'll find it here. The park's rich history and commitment to conservation make it a valuable asset for future generations. Historically, the Algonquin people called the mountain 'Manitonga Soutana'. Logging began in the area in the 1850s. In 1938, Joe Ryan established a ski resort on Mont-Tremblant mountain, changing provincial law to include the use of public park and place of recreation. Today, the park continues to offer a wide array of recreational activities, while also protecting its natural heritage.
