Why Mont-Tremblant Belongs on Your Travel List This Year

Written by Malana VanTyler
Mont-Tremblant has long been a favorite among travelers seeking both alpine adventure and small-village charm. Just ninety minutes from Montreal, this Laurentian gem has the kind of four-season appeal that keeps visitors returning year after year: powdery ski slopes in winter, sun-drenched trails in summer, fiery colors in autumn, and maple-sweet traditions each spring.
Now, there’s a new way to experience it. MAK Vacation, the brand known for curating high-end suites and penthouses in Miami’s Fontainebleau Resort, has arrived in Mont-Tremblant, bringing its blend of luxury rentals and concierge-level hospitality north of the border.
A Destination That Never Sleeps
What makes Mont-Tremblant stand out is its year-round energy. In January, skiers carve down more than 100 trails before settling into cozy après-ski lounges. By July, the same mountains hum with the sound of mountain bikes and zip lines. Autumn transforms the region into one of the most colorful landscapes in North America, while spring celebrates the maple harvest with rustic sugar shacks tucked into the forest.For travelers, it means there’s never a wrong time to visit. And for MAK Vacation, it was the perfect stage for its first expansion outside the United States.
Staying at L’Hymne des Trembles
At the heart of the move is L’Hymne des Trembles, a master-planned community that pairs modern architecture with breathtaking views of the Laurentians. Guests booking through MAKVacation.com can expect ski-in, ski-out convenience, floor-to-ceiling windows, and the kind of thoughtful details that turn a stay into an experience.But what really sets it apart is the service. From private airport transfers to personal chefs, the team handles the details so guests can focus on exploring. Need lift tickets arranged? A table at a tucked-away bistro? A family-friendly hike mapped out? It’s all part of the package.
