Montréal → Mont-Tremblant at a glance.
- DistanceAbout 130 km
- TimeRoughly 1 h 30
- RouteA-15 N then Route 117
- RecommendedYukon XL or Suburban with equipment
This is the single most requested long-distance journey we run. Montréal or YUL to the Tremblant resort village, direct, with no transfer in between.
For a party carrying skis or a week of luggage, vehicle choice decides whether the drive is comfortable. The Yukon XL takes a full party and their equipment without asking anyone to give up the third row.
Return journeys are booked at the same time and held. On ski weekends that matters — the road back on a Sunday afternoon is not the road you came up on.
Frequently asked
- Can you meet a flight at YUL and drive straight up?Yes. We monitor the flight and go direct.
- What if it snows?Winter tires as standard, and we plan extra time rather than driving faster.
- Can you hold the return?Yes, and we recommend it on ski weekends.
The route
The drive, in detail.
A-15 North out of the city — the Autoroute des Laurentides — as far as exit 89 at Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, where the autoroute ends and the road carries on as Route 117 North. Another forty kilometres or so, then exit 119, Montée Ryan, which puts you on the approach to the resort village. About 130 km door to door from downtown, a little more from the airport, and roughly an hour and a half when nothing is in the way.
What changes it
- Friday afternoons, December to MarchNorthbound between Saint-Jérôme and Sainte-Adèle is the bottleneck. Add thirty to forty-five minutes, more after a fresh snowfall.
- Sunday afternoons, same seasonThe same thing in reverse. The Laurentians empty toward Montréal all at once, which is why the return leg is worth booking with the outbound.
- Grand Prix weekendThe problem is not the 15. It is getting off the island to reach it.
- ConstructionThe A-15 corridor is rebuilt in sections most summers. The detours are signed, but they cost time that belongs in the plan rather than in a surprise.
- WeatherThe last stretch of the 117 is where a February storm actually shows up. It is the part of this drive that rewards having done it a few hundred times.
