Itinerary
Day 1
Pickup in Montreal followed by a guided day trip to Mont‑Tremblant: explore the pedestrian village, ride the panoramic gondola and access the suspended Top Trail; enjoy a sensory tasting of premium olive oils and balsamic vinegars. On the return drive there is a short scenic stop in Saint‑Sauveur before returning to Montreal.
Pickup in Montreal & departure
Your guide will pick you up directly at your hotel or accommodation in Montreal. The guide will meet you at the main entrance or lobby and confirm the vehicle before departure. Depart Montreal for Mont‑Tremblant.
Tips from local experts:
- Wait in the hotel lobby or just outside the main entrance; the guide will call your name on arrival.
- Bring a small daypack with water, ID and any medications for the day; the vehicle has limited storage.
- Dress in layers for changing temperatures between Montreal and higher elevation at Tremblant.
Mont‑Tremblant: pedestrian village, gondola & Top Trail
Arrive at Mont‑Tremblant pedestrian village. Visit the village square, take the included panoramic gondola to the summit and walk the suspended Sentier des Cimes (Top Trail) for panoramic views. Time also allocated for photos and short sight-seeing in the village.
Tips from local experts:
- The gondola and Top Trail are included—head to the gondola boarding area on arrival; expect brief lines at peak times.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes; the suspended trail has uneven surfaces and is not wheelchair accessible.
- For the best couple photos, ask your guide for recommended viewpoints at the summit (they know quiet spots).
Sensory tasting & free time in the village
Enjoy the included sensory tasting of premium olive oils and balsamic vinegars in the village and then take leisure time to shop, relax at a café or explore lakeside paths.
Tips from local experts:
- Tastings are often seated; let the host know of any allergies or dietary restrictions in advance.
- Carry a small amount of local currency or a card for souvenirs and café purchases during free time.
- If you prefer a quieter table for two, choose a side-street café rather than the main village square.
Transfer from Mont‑Tremblant to Saint‑Sauveur (scenic stop)
Depart Mont‑Tremblant and make a planned short scenic stop in Saint‑Sauveur to stretch legs, take photos and enjoy a quick look at the town before returning to Montreal.
Tips from local experts:
- Use this stop to buy snacks or a quick coffee; Saint‑Sauveur has several bakeries and cafés near the main road.
- Keep cameras handy for classic Laurentian village and mountain views on the roadside.
- If your accommodation requires an earlier drop-off, tell the guide at pickup so timing can be confirmed.
Short visit in Saint‑Sauveur
Short walking break in Saint‑Sauveur: quick photos, an optional coffee or pastry, and a chance to experience a small Laurentian town.
Tips from local experts:
- Choose a café with outdoor seating if you want a relaxed atmosphere and local people-watching.
- Public washrooms in Saint‑Sauveur are usually located near main parking areas and cafés; plan a quick visit if needed.
- Keep belongings close in small-town cafés and avoid leaving valuables unattended during short stops.
Return transfer to Montreal (drop‑off)
Board the vehicle for the guided return to Montreal. Your guide will drop you at the original pickup point or the closest safe location agreed at pickup.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect the guide to confirm the drop-off point during pickup; if your street has restrictions, provide an alternate address in advance.
- Keep personal items and any purchases in your daypack; the guide will help load luggage into the vehicle if needed.
- If you want a quiet return, let the guide know; they can adjust music volume or provide a brief rest stop if time allows.
