The short answer
The PwC Tremblant World Cup returns on Saturday, December 5 and Sunday, December 6, 2026, with two women's giant slalom races on Tremblant's Flying Mile trail. It is the only women's alpine World Cup stop in Canada, and the whole pedestrian village turns into a party for the weekend.
All prices are in Canadian dollars (CAD), before fees and taxes. Ski races depend on the weather, so we update this guide whenever Tremblant changes its plans.

The event
The PwC Tremblant World Cup is a stop on the Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup, the top circuit in ski racing. Tremblant and Alpine Canada host two women's giant slalom races, one on Saturday and one on Sunday, on the Flying Mile trail. The finish area sits at the base of the mountain, right next to the pedestrian village, so you can go from a café table to the finish line in a few minutes.
Each race has two runs. About 70 of the best skiers in the world take on the first run, and only the top 30 come back for the second run in the afternoon. The fastest combined time wins.
The event has a short but eventful history. In 2023, Tremblant hosted its first women's World Cup race in about 40 years. The 2024 races were cancelled because of unseasonably warm weather, and the World Cup came back strong in December 2025. That year, New Zealand's Alice Robinson won Saturday's race, with Canada's Valérie Grenier on the podium in third, and Austria's Julia Scheib won on Sunday.

Plan like a local
We host guests all winter long. These are the things that make the biggest difference on a race weekend.
Lodging near the village tends to go first on race weekend, and so do chalets with a private hot tub or room for a big group.
You'll spend hours outside at the bottom of the mountain in early December. Think ski pants, warm boots, hand warmers and a thermos.
The best spots along the finish area go early. Arrive well before 11:00 a.m. on Saturday and 10:30 a.m. on Sunday.
Kids Ski Free Week runs December 5 to 11, 2026, so children 12 and under can ski free between runs or after the races. Check tremblant.ca for how to get their free lift ticket.
From December 1, all Quebec-registered vehicles, rental cars included, need winter tires. Tremblant is about 90 minutes by car from Montreal-Trudeau airport (YUL).
Stay within walking distance of the village or in a sector served by Tremblant's free shuttles. Then spend the evening at the concerts and in the village. See our winter activities guide.
Where to stay
The simplest World Cup weekend is the one where you walk to the race. Ski-in, ski-out condos on the resort put the finish area and the village at your door. If you're coming as a family or a group, a chalet a few minutes away usually gives you more bedrooms, a private hot tub and parking for less per guest, and the hot tub feels amazing after a day standing in the cold.

Yes. According to the official World Cup ticket page, Kids Ski Free Week runs from December 5 to 11, 2026, with free skiing or snowboarding for children 12 and under. Check tremblant.ca for how to get their free lift ticket. It is a lift ticket offer and does not replace a World Cup ticket.
Every World Cup race has to pass a snow control by the International Ski Federation (FIS) before it is confirmed. The 2024 Tremblant races were cancelled because of warm weather. Tickets are listed as non-refundable, and the ticket page doesn't explain what happens if the event is cancelled, so check with Tremblant before you buy.
To walk to the race, book a ski-in, ski-out condo on the resort, close to the pedestrian village. For more space and a private hot tub, chalets a few minutes from the slopes are a great fit for families and groups. Book early: lodging near the village tends to go first on race weekend.
