Five Ways to Recharge and Reconnect in Beautiful Mont-Tremblant

Scenic vistas, glittering nightlife, time to recharge together and create new memories—there’s nothing like a couple’s getaway to break from the ordinary and reconnect. And while technically, all you need is each other, the right destination can elevate the bonding and romance quotients of your trip.
More than just a beautiful backdrop, Mont-Tremblant in the Laurentians and its surrounding districts offer all the ingredients for the ultimate couple’s trip. Whether your vibe is relaxed and indulgent or you’re seeking thrills that’ll get your heart pumping just like the feeling of young love, the Mont-Tremblant region has it all.
If you’re planning a one-on-one getaway with your amour this summer, here are five can’t-miss Tremblant experiences to up the romance and connection.
Enjoy a little pampering à deux
Couples trips are an important way to get a break from everyday stresses and unwind so you can focus on each other. And Mont-Tremblant’s abundant spa offerings make it easy to leave the world behind and reset your focus on each other.
Melt into a couple’s massage at one of Tremblant’s acclaimed hotel spas and then soak up some post-treatment bonding time in your bathrobes. Or, get hot and steamy at Scandinave Spa Mont-Tremblant, a tranquil haven of thermal hot and cold pools, saunas and steam baths, and relaxation installations in a stunning natural setting nestled in the Laurentian Forest, along the banks of the Diable River.

Hit the trails
Discover each other—and the many charms of Mont-Tremblant—by spending time on two wheels. While Tremblant’s 50 kilometres of trails make for a fun adventure, ample road space and easy trail options also make biking a great way to explore the Village and Downtown areas. (If romance is your preferred way to get your heart pumping, you can rent an electric bike for a lower-exertion cruise).
Spend the morning browsing galleries and quaint shops, and then hit the summer market, open every Saturday from June to September, or a local restaurant for a fresh takeaway lunch. From there, hop back on your bike and hit Le P’tit Train du Nord, a long, flat trail along an old rail line, to find a scenic picnic spot for two.

Adrenaline-fueled bonding
Want a science-back way to fuel some romantic sparks? Studies show that adrenaline and excitement can deepen attraction and arousal. Of course, that’s just one reason to check out some of Mont-Tremblant’s most thrilling activities. Located in Parc National du Mont-Tremblant, the Via Ferrata is a 200-metre high rock wall visitors can climb using built-in steps, handles, beams and bridges—accessible for beginners, intermediates and expert climbers alike. You can also enjoy an aerial adventure with Ziptrek Ecotours at the Tremblant Resort, zipping all the way from the summit of Mont Tremblant down to the village.

Take in Mont-Tremblant’s glittery nightlife
Romance tends to heat up when the stars come out—and there’s no better place for enjoying the nightlife as a couple than the Velan Astronomy Pavilion in Domaine Saint-Bernard. Renowned for its dark skies far from light pollution, the observatory offers a high-quality telescope and dedicated observation areas for taking in Mont-Tremblant’s magnificent natural displays. Or find a secret spot in Mont-Tremblant National Park and revel in the nightly DarkSky-approved celestial light show.

Entertainment, in spades
Culinary pleasures, live music, world-class gaming? Casino de Mont-Tremblant is a one-stop destination for a good time. Try your hand at baccarat, roulette, blackjack, slot machines, or dice games; enjoy the view from Altitude Restaurant’s scenic terrace; or, take in multimedia DJ performances every Friday and Saturday night at Bar Central.
