Nestled in the majestic regions of the Laurentians and Lanaudière, Parc national du Mont-Tremblant is an immense protected territory stretching across forests and hills. It has six major rivers and is dotted with lakes and meandering streams. This park – the oldest of the Sépaq network – is home to 40 species of mammals, including the wolf, a fascinating animal that plays an essential role in balancing the park's forest ecosystem. In the fall, the landscapes take on dazzling colours, offering a breathtaking natural display. Here are three ways to take full advantage of the park’s splendour!


Fall camping, or how to immerse yourself in nature

Fall is a great time to experience the joys of camping. The air is fresh and invigorating, the trees are flamboyant... and there are no mosquitoes! At Parc national du Mont-Tremblant, there are a number of camping and ready-to-camp options available in the various sectors, each more beautiful than the last. Whether you're camping solo, as a couple or with your family, you'll find a site to suit you, with or without services, so that you can fully enjoy the colorful mountains and peaceful forest.


Hiking: a perfect fall activity

A walk through the park during foliage season is pure bliss! There's something for everyone, with trails to suit all tastes and abilities, from short strolls to more challenging hikes. You can consult the trail maps to help you plan your hike, and the trail chart to find out which trails are the most challenging, and which are open to dogs on a leash. This network of trails, over 82 km long with 10 relay stations, promises magnificent discoveries at every turn.

Via ferrata: for a new perspective on fall colours

Do you like a challenge and want to see the park in a different light? Whether you're a beginner or an advanced climber, you can try out the Via ferrata du Diable for an exhilarating course along the mountain. Attached to a steel cable (lifeline) running along the side of the cliff, you'll progress safely and at your own pace, accompanied by a professional guide. At an altitude of 200 metres, you'll cross beams, monkey bridges and footbridges overlooking the winding Diable River. The spectacular view of the mountains on the horizon will take your breath away!
