Mission Statement

Parc national du Mont-Tremblant protects a segment of the natural environment and biological diversity of the Laurentian massif.

Natural Environment

Parc national du Mont-Tremblant is the largest provincial park in Québec-a 1,510 sq. km. expanse of mountains, lakes, rivers, and valleys, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Here, the Laurentians reveal themselves in all their splendour. In the ancient past, these mountains towered as high and rugged as the Himalayans. Today, 1.2 billion years later, they are rounded and worn by erosion. Mont Tremblant dominates the park at 931 metres in elevation.

Water in its numerous guises is omnipresent in the park's breathtaking and powerful waterfalls, babbling brooks, where trout play hide and seek with anglers, mirror-calm lakes perfect for canoeing. In all, there are 400 lakes and 6 rivers in the park!

The forest also shapes and defines the landscape, an awe-inspiring and endless green carpet, perfect for admiring from mountaintop viewpoints. Sugar maple and yellow birch dominate the forest cover, interspersed with beech, fir, spruce, and white birch, depending on the location.

It is here in the heart of the woods that the park's star attractions, the animals, make their homes. The park is an ideal place to observe Laurentian wildlife. With a little patience and luck, you can spot a wide variety of mammals, including moose, white-tailed deer, beaver, red foxes, black bears, and wolves.

The bird watchers have been busy. Over the years they have counted 200 bird species in the deciduous and coniferous forests and aquatic milieus. The last species to be added to the list are the Willow Flycatcher and the House Finch, spotted in the 2007 spring census.
