Our area has incredible networks of snowshoe trails across 4 main locations: the Tremblant ski hill, the Mont-Tremblant National Park, and the Domain Saint-Bernard Park, Municipality of Mont-Tremblant. Check out our interactive maps that show trail status and difficulty levels. We offer interactive maps that show — in real time — which trails are open, and the difficulty level of each trail (easy, moderate, difficult). This helps you choose the right path based on your mood, energy, abilities, and snow conditions.
And don’t forget: snowshoes are actually for going off-trail. This takes a bit more effort and requires some navigation equipment and know-how (along with the normal gear and skills you should always bring into the back-country). Going off-trail can be more rewarding … but it isn’t for beginner hikers.
Mont-Tremblant is actually a massif with several mountain peaks. Johannsens Peak is the highest summit in the Laurentians. On the massif you’ll find 7 marked snowshoe trails, ranging from 1 km to 5 km, suitable for all skill levels. The network offers about 23 km of trails in total for snowshoeing. Expect to hike through forests, beside waterfalls and streams — with stunning views of the Laurentians. You may intersect alpine ski trails, pass under chairlifts, or even use the Telecabine gondola to access the summits or to download. The Grand Manitou summit lodge can be found at the top, great for a coffee or lunch stop.
Mont-Tremblant National Park is also a destination for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. This conservation park is Quebec’s oldest and largest provincial park. The Diable Sector has a variety of trails — from easy family-friendly loops to more demanding hikes — giving you a true taste of Laurentian forest in a wilderness setting. The entrance is from the town of Lac Superieur. A nature interpretation centre with café, souvenirs, and bathrooms can be found on the south eastern shore of lac Monroe near the parking.
In the town of Mont-Tremblant, snowshoeing takes place on an extensive network of municipal trails totaling over 50 km. Routes such as Pins East and West, Lynx, Labyrinthe, Diable, Mont-Bellevue, the Village Trail, as well as the Gray Rocks and P’tit Train du Nord areas, offer options ranging from easy to difficult. Good news: some trails are also accessible with your dog on a leash, so you can enjoy winter outdoors together.
Just minutes from the Tremblant resort, Domain Saint-Bernard is kind of a mini-national park right in the middle of the Mont-Tremblant municipality. It was donated by the Catholic church to a land trust in the 1990’s. This winter snowshoe network includes about 22 km of marked trails. The trails vary from easy to moderate more challenging, winding through pine forest, meadows, lakes and along the Diable River. There are also 22km of cross-country ski trails. Cafe, shop, and bathrooms can be found in the main building.
