Mont Tremblant Day Trip from Montreal

This tour starts in Montreal and goes all the way to Mont Tremblant National Park, more than 1,500 square kilometres of forests, mountains, lakes and waterfalls. The tour is private, as only you and your companions take part, and transfers are in an air-conditioned vehicle. Throughout the tour you will be accompanied by a local guide who will tell you the secrets of this beautiful protected area. The total duration of the tour is approximately 7 to 9 hours.

Mont Tremblant National Park can be visited in all seasons. In winter, it's a popular skiing destination, while in summer, tourists and locals flock here for boating, camping or just relaxing on the banks of rivers and lakes. Another recommended option is the foliage show in autumn, when the forests turn red, orange and yellow.

This protected area is home to numerous animal species and, with a bit of luck, you may see the following wildlife:

• Grizzly bear - The most common species in Canada. It has a predominantly plant-based diet supplemented by insects, mammals and birds.
• Moose - recognisable by their muscular bodies and enormous height (about 2 metres at the withers). They live on the shores of lakes and, despite their size, are excellent swimmers.
• American Beaver - They are the national symbol of the country and true "engineers" because of their dam-building skills. In winter, they do not hibernate, but can swim under the ice.
• Greywolf - Lives in packs of less than 10 individuals and feeds mainly on deer and small mammals. Communicates by body language and shuns humans.

The tour does not include lunch, but you don't have to worry about that, the guide can give you useful tips on where to eat. As this is a private activity, it can be adapted to suit your needs and tastes.
