Catch live music throughout the day on a number of outdoor stages, restaurants or bars, or seemingly random places throughout Tremblant’s pedestrian village. You never know when musicians might turn up to play a few tunes.

Internationally acclaimed artists from all over the world perform at the Tremblant Blues Festival. When we visited, we managed to catch a performance by legendary guitarist, Coco Montoya. Justin and I were introduced to artists, like Bo Reissette & The Lazy Bones Blues Band, that we otherwise might not have discovered on our own.

Experience Tremblant Resort While You’re There

As part of the experience, soak up the breathtaking scenery surrounding this mountain village. There are 11 hiking trails around the Laurentian mountains here. What’s an even easier way to get to the top of the mountain? Take the gondola that transports passengers straight to the top!

Another unique way to explore the great outdoors is by taking a tour with Ziptrek Ecotours. Soar above the treetops across several thrilling ziplines. Trust me, these ziplines are fast – probably the fastest ones I’ve ever experienced!

To discover Mont Tremblant from an even higher vantage point, take a helicopter tour of the property and beyond with HeliTremblant. Admire an aerial view of the village as you fly through the clouds.

There’s even a nearby beach at Tremblant where you can lounge in the sunshine. Go swimming, build a sandcastle, play beach volleyball, or participate in a number of water sports.

It’s a pretty unique experience to alternate listening to live music with zipping across treetops or spending a few hours at the beach. These are just some of our recommended activities and attractions in addition to immersing yourself in all the live music.
