Itinerary
Day 1
Full-day ski experience with private pickup in downtown Montreal, transfer to Mont-Tremblant, equipment fitting and lesson, free skiing time, then return to downtown Montreal.
Downtown Montreal Pick up
Meet your guide for hotel or downtown pickup. If you did not provide an exact pickup address, the default meeting point is Lionel-Groulx Metro Station (Orange line) in downtown Montreal. Staff will confirm final pickup location and vehicle details before departure.
Tips from local experts:
- Be ready in the hotel lobby 10 minutes before your scheduled pickup time; if your accommodation is outside downtown, confirm exact pickup point in advance.
- Dress in warm layers for the short transfer; you can store extra bags on the vehicle but limit large luggage.
- If you haven’t provided a pickup address during booking, use Lionel-Groulx Metro Station as the default meeting point and look for a vehicle marked with the guide’s company name.
Ski Resort Mountain — Mont-Tremblant
Private transfer to Mont-Tremblant Resort for equipment fitting, instructor-led group lesson, and on-mountain skiing. All ski gear, mountain pass, ski goggles and snow pants are included. Lesson and on-hill time will be adjusted to your group’s skill level.
Tips from local experts:
- We provide ski goggles and snow pants as listed in the inclusions; bring your own base layers, warm socks, and waterproof gloves for comfort.
- Bring a photo ID for equipment rental paperwork and any required waivers; plan for a 30–45 minute equipment fitting before the lesson.
- There will be a lunch break on-site; check with your guide whether the group will eat at the resort cafeteria or nearby restaurant and bring cash/card for purchases not included.
Downtown Montreal (Return & Drop-off)
Private transfer back to downtown Montreal with drop-off at your original pickup location or a central downtown drop-off point (default: Lionel-Groulx Metro Station). Wrap-up with the guide and equipment return confirmation.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect to arrive back in downtown Montreal in the early evening; confirm your preferred drop-off address with the guide before leaving the mountain.
- If you plan to use public transit after drop-off, Lionel-Groulx Metro connects to the Orange line for easy onward travel; check schedules for evening service.
- Allow a short buffer after arrival for any gear checks or final questions with your instructor; keep any personal items from equipment rental with you.

Why this experience
A full-day guided ski adventure from downtown Montreal to Mont-Tremblant takes you from city streets to Quebec's most celebrated alpine terrain in less than two hours. Your certified instructor meets you at the hotel, handles all transport, and has your equipment sorted before the morning's first run. The mountain rewards early arrivals with fresh corduroy and shorter lift lines — whether you're a first-time skier finding your confidence or an intermediate seeking steeper terrain, the day builds around your level.
The real shift happens at lunch. You stop at a trailside cabin, eat together, and the afternoon becomes a conversation between mountain rhythm and your own pace. By 16:00, when the light turns golden and the runs empty, you've skied more than you might in a week of self-guided attempts. The return to Montreal is quiet and reflective — that particular exhaustion that only a full mountain day can produce.
Built for anyone in Montreal who wants authentic alpine time without the logistics, navigation, or rental stress.
Before you go
- Best time: Winter (December–March). Fresh powder weeks offer best conditions. Early morning is essential — book sunrise pickup for the quietest terrain.
- Budget: Check the booking widget for current tour pricing. Equipment rental, mountain pass, lunch, and round-trip transport from downtown are included. Budget additional funds for après-ski drinks or souvenirs.
- Difficulty: Beginner to advanced. Your guide assesses your level on the first run and adjusts trail selection accordingly.
- What to bring: Warm, moisture-wicking layers, ski jacket and pants, gloves, warm hat, sunscreen, lip balm with SPF, and goggles. Rental boots and skis are provided.
- Getting there: Hotel pickup from downtown Montreal (confirm your address when booking). No personal transport required. Return drop-off same location by 18:00.
- Accessibility: Mont-Tremblant has accessible lift access and terrain. Discuss any mobility considerations when booking — the guide can recommend appropriate trails.

Complete your trip in Montreal
This ski day covers Mont-Tremblant but doesn't touch Montreal's urban experiences, food scene, or winter culture in the city itself. These extend your broader Montreal visit.
