  • Where to stay: ski-in, ski-out condos in the village and on the mountainside, chalets a few minutes from the slopes, or quieter chalets near the North Side.

Opening day

When does Tremblant open for 2026-27?

Tremblant opens for the 2026-27 ski and snowboard season on Thursday, November 26, 2026. The resort invites skiers to the base of the Express Gondola at 8:00 a.m. to officially kick off the season and be among the first on the slopes. The celebration runs until 9:30 a.m.

This year, opening day also lands on American Thanksgiving, so expect plenty of visitors from the United States on opening weekend.

Keep in mind that at the beginning of the season, not all trails are open. See which trails and lifts are running in real time on Tremblant's interactive trail map.

First tracks

What to expect on opening day

Like most ski resorts in eastern North America, Tremblant opens with a selection of trails built on machine-made snow, then adds terrain through December as cold nights and natural snowfall allow. Its snowmaking system, with 1,286 snow guns covering about 210 hectares (519 acres), is what makes a late-November opening possible.

  • Arrive early. Opening weekend draws a crowd, and the first runs on fresh corduroy are the best of the day.
  • Expect a mix of open and closed terrain. Check the mountain report before choosing your side of the mountain.
  • Dress in layers. Late-November mornings in the Laurentians are cold, and the summit sits at 875 m (2,871 ft).
  • First-timers: the new Versant Soleil learning area is planned for weekends and peak periods, so check its schedule before booking lessons.
  • Make it a weekend. The pedestrian village and its restaurants make the trip worth it even when only part of the mountain is open.

Lift tickets

Tremblant lift tickets 2026-27

Tremblant prices its lift tickets by date and by length of stay, so the same day can cost very different amounts depending on when you buy. The biggest savings come from buying multi-day tickets early.

RuleWhat it means for you
Early-bird deadlineUntil November 26, 2026, Tremblant offers its best rates on 2 to 7-day lift tickets for the 2026-27 season.
High seasonEvery day from December 27, 2026 to January 2, 2027, from February 13 to 19, 2027, and every Friday, Saturday and Sunday in January, February and March 2027.
Variable ratesPrices change with the period and the length of your stay, and daily quantities are limited. Buy as soon as your dates are set.
Afternoon ticketA half-day ticket lets you start skiing at noon, handy for arrival days.
Tremblant ReserveA premium daily ticket that includes First Tracks access, so you are on the slopes before the crowds.
Ikon PassTremblant is an Ikon Pass destination. The number of days included depends on your pass type.
PickupCollect your ticket at the Multiservice Centre or a ticket printing kiosk the day before or the day of your arrival.

For reference, last season's (2025-26) adult window prices were listed by OnTheSnow at about CA$155 on weekdays and CA$185 on weekends, in Canadian dollars. 2026-27 prices are on tremblant.ca.

Where to stay

Ski-in, ski-out or a short drive?

Tremblant counts about 1,900 lodging units on the resort itself, in three sectors: the pedestrian village, the mountainside and the golf course side. True ski-in, ski-out condos are concentrated in the village and on the mountainside, and the resort runs free shuttles between sectors.

The trade-off is simple. A ski-in, ski-out condo saves you the morning drive and puts the village at your door. A chalet a few minutes away usually gives you more bedrooms, a private hot tub, a full kitchen and parking for less per guest. For families and groups, the short drive is often the better deal.

Versant Nord, Lac-Supérieur

Prefer a peaceful mountain getaway away from the pedestrian village?

Love skiing but prefer to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the pedestrian village, its restaurants and nightlife? Consider staying on the North Side (Versant Nord) of Mont-Tremblant. Enjoy a more peaceful, secluded mountain atmosphere while still being just minutes from the slopes. The chalets below are about 10 minutes from the Versant Nord ski access.

Plan like a local

How to plan an early-season trip

We host skiers all winter long. These are the things that make the biggest difference for our guests.

Book the holidays now

Christmas, New Year's and the March school breaks fill up first, especially chalets with a private hot tub or room for big groups. See the best time to book a ski vacation.

Go midweek if you can

Monday to Thursday avoids the weekend high-season lift rates and usually means shorter lines and better nightly rates.

Lock in lift tickets early

Buy 2 to 7-day tickets before November 26 for the best rates, and pick up the afternoon ticket for your arrival day.

Get winter tires

From December 1 to March 15, all Quebec-registered vehicles, rental cars included, need winter tires. Fines range from CA$200 to CA$300. Snow often arrives earlier.

Plan the drive

Tremblant is about 90 minutes by car from Montreal-Trudeau airport (YUL), depending on traffic and road conditions.

Plan the off-slope time

Hot tub evenings and the village lights fill the rest of the trip. See our winter activities guide and Christmas in Tremblant guide.
