Start your morning with breakfast to go from Bistro Au Grain de Café. Enjoy a coffee and pastry for about $5–7. Spend some time exploring the hiking trails, accessible for all skill levels. Download a trail map on the website. Browse the many shops located throughout the village. Hop on the complimentary cabriolet for a quick ride from the bottom to the top of the steep village.

 

Sample a traditional Canadian dish at Smoke’s Poutinerie. Hand-cut fries are topped with cheese curds and gravy. Pork, chicken, beef and vegetarian options are available. An order costs about $10. For a bird’s-eye view of the village, take a scenic gondola ride to the highest peak in the Laurentians. Here you’ll find more hiking trails and a 360-degree observation tower. The round-trip ride starts at $17.99 for an adult.

Have dinner at Laurent Louis. Located in the heart of the village, the cozy bistro serves up French favorites and wines. Spend about $40.

 

Try your luck at the Casino de Mont-Tremblant. Located a short gondola or shuttle ride from the main village, the casino offers table games and machines, in addition to its fine-dining restaurant and various meeting spaces.
