Nez-de-L’Indien

This moderate hiking trail in Mont-Tremblant promises a real journey through the heart of Québec’s stunning wilderness. The highlight of the Nez-de-L’Indien trail is undoubtedly its namesake feature: the Nez-de-L’Indien, or “Indian’s Nose.” This iconic landmark offers sweeping views of Mont-Tremblant’s area, with layers of mountains unfolding in every direction. Among these mountains, you can contemplate Lake Tremblant as well as the Mont-Tremblant village further to the right. 

There are two trail options available, each offering a rewarding journey to the same breathtaking viewpoint:

Nez-de-L’Indien (8.5 km/Moderate) 

With an elevation gain of 334 meters, this trail typically takes around 2 hours and 40 minutes to complete. Parking is available along a section of the Thomas-Robert road, but be sure to respect any parking restrictions posted in the area.

Nez-de-L’Indien via Lake Baptiste (8.5 km/Moderate)

This alternative route boasts an elevation gain of 496 meters and usually requires about 3 hours and 15 minutes to hike. Access to this trail begins at Lake Baptiste road, where two parking lots are provided. During peak seasons, these parking areas tend to fill up quickly.

Regardless of which trail you choose, hiking Nez-de-L’Indien is a must-do experience when visiting Mont-Tremblant. Due to its popularity, we recommend embarking on this adventure early in the morning or during sunset to fully appreciate its splendor. The moderate difficulty level ensures accessibility for hikers of various skill levels, while the expansive, flat rocks at the summit offer the perfect spot to sit, relax and soak in this beautiful scenery.

La Corniche (3.2 km/Moderate)

While La Corniche is labeled as an easy trail, its stunning viewpoint overlooking Lake Monroe and the surrounding mountains should not be underestimated. Stretching just 3.2 km in length, this trail typically takes about 1h15 to complete before reaching the beautiful landscape. Though Alltrails rates it as moderate, our experience hiking with Olivier’s family confirms that it’s suitable for hikers of all ages and skill levels.

Conveniently located near the Discovery and Services Centre of Lake Monroe, La Corniche offers the perfect opportunity to start your day with a scenic hike and then enjoy afternoon activities on the lake. Whether you’re into picnicking or water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding, Lake Monroe has something for everyone to enjoy.

La Roche, La Coulée, La Corniche loop (8.2 km/Moderate)

Seeking a more challenging hike that still rewards you with the stunning views of La Corniche? Look no further than this extended hiking trail that also leads you to the stunning La Roche viewpoint. With a longer length of 8.2 km, it provides a deeper dive into Mont-Tremblant’s natural splendor.

Parking is available at either the La Roche lot near the Discovery and Services Centre or at La Corniche, as it forms a loop. The trail leads you up to the mountain for the viewpoints, then back down near the road for the return stretch. For those seeking a more immersive forest experience, consider retracing your steps instead of completing the full loop.

If you have the time and crave more than just La Corniche, this trail is well worth the adventure. While La Corniche boasts its own breathtaking views, La Roche offers its own unique and equally stunning scenery that’s not to be missed.

Mont Nixon (8 km/Moderate)

Mont Nixon is another gorgeous and popular hike you should definitely put on your hiking bucket list. Standing as a must-experience hike, it offers captivating views of Mont-Tremblant’s natural splendor. What sets this trail apart is the distinct shapes of the surrounding mountains, adding to its charm.

Spanning approximately 8 kilometers, the hike treats you to numerous viewpoints along the way, culminating in a summit experience that showcases the beauty of Mont-Tremblant. While the trail may not always be clearly marked, following the map on Alltrails ensures you a smooth journey. The ascent covers the first 3 kilometers, followed by a descent over the remaining 5 kilometers, with the entire hike typically taking about 3 hours. 

Due to its popularity, parking can get limited so we recommend hitting the trail early. With its unique scenery and diverse landscape, Mont Nixon promises you an unforgettable outdoor adventure.

Montagne Verte loop (3.1 km/Moderate)

Don’t miss out on the Montagne Verte trail (Green Mountain), a fantastic hiking choice in Mont-Tremblant. Its short length of 3.1 km makes it accessible to all, including furry friends as dogs are allowed on the trail. However, popularity brings its challenges, so plan to start your hike early during busy periods to secure parking.

The Montagne Verte loop trail typically takes around 1 hour to complete, leaving you plenty of time to pair it with other activities, such as exploring Mont-Tremblant village or catching a breathtaking sunset to end your day.

For those craving more adventure, don’t miss the opportunity to extend your hike to include the neighboring Nez-de-L’Indien trail, conveniently situated next to the Montagne Verte. While more challenging with a length of approximately 10 km, this hiking trail promises breathtaking views from both summits, making the effort well worth it.

In conclusion, Mont-Tremblant offers many hiking opportunities, each promising its own unique adventure. From the tranquil shores of Lake Monroe to the singular mountains of Mont Nixon, there’s something for every outdoor enthusiast to enjoy.

Whether you’re up for an easy or a tougher hike, get ready to explore Mont-Tremblant’s stunning trails. Your next outdoor adventure is waiting in this beautiful mountain region.
