Abreath of optimism characterized Tremblant real estate well before the period of confinement ended. In 2018, businesses that were established before the pedestrian village took shape, such as the P’tit Caribou, Le Shack, La Forge and others, celebrated their 25th birthdays.
Formerly considered somewhat Disneyesque, Tremblant Village gained maturity, like its trees, and can now compare itself to the Petit Champlain which inspired it.
In 2012, Ironman brought new travellers, impeccable sports facilities and, most importantly, users from around the world in what used to be called the “dead seasons” or “shoulder seasons”.
Since 2017, thanks to the acquisition of the mountain by Alterra, the offering and quality of services improve continuously and expansion of the skiable terrain can be anticipated.
Over the years, Tremblant has proven correct the visionaries who imagined, from 1990, an internationally renowned, four-season resort. An increasing number of Montrealers, formerly attracted by the Eastern Townships, now find it cooler to take the 15 instead of Hwy. 10 to enjoy more plentiful snow in winter or innumerable Laurentian trails and pursuits in the off-season.
Every day over the most recent Holiday Season, there were record numbers of skiers.
New real estate projects are emerging and others have been announced. Their success is occurring in spite of current economic uncertainty.
Even without a crystal ball, I can allow myself to be highly optimistic for Mont-Tremblant both as a tourist destination and for its flourishing real estate.
