The beach is always a great family friendly idea, especially when accompanied by the stunning waterfront and mountain views that Tremblant’s beach has to offer.

The Luge:
You cannot visit Mont-Tremblant and not try the Luge, a go kart-meets-tobbagan ride that winds down the face of the beautiful ski mountain. The breathtaking aerial view of the mountain is reason enough to try it, but the thrill of controlling your own cart down a mountain full of blockades and sprinklers are the main attraction. You can go down the course at your own pace, race others or simply take your time and enjoy the view. This gravity adventure ride will take you to the edge of your seat, regardless of age or adrenaline tolerance. One time is truly never enough!
