Sustainable development at the heart of Mont Tremblant Resort

Eco-responsibility

Over 20 Years of Commitment to Sustainable Development
Tremblant’s sustainability journey began taking shape in 2014. Following the creation of a sustainable development committee in 2016, Mont Tremblant Resort adopted its Sustainability Charter and first Sustainable Development Action Plan the following year. Today, this voluntary commitment to continuous improvement plays an important role in Tremblant’s management practices and helps guide its actions related to the environment and community engagement.

GreenStep Level 5 certification
Tremblant Achieves GreenStep Level 5 Certification
In 2026, Tremblant reached a new milestone in its sustainability journey by joining GreenStep, an internationally recognized certification program tailored to the tourism industry. Following a rigorous audit conducted by ADDERE, Tremblant achieved Level 5 certification, the highest level of recognition under the GreenStep program and a first for a Canadian ski resort.

This certification builds on more than ten years of initiatives undertaken through the former Sustainable Development Program of the Conseil des Industries Durables du Québec. The transition to GreenStep allows us to advance our approach through a program better suited to the tourism industry, strengthen our practices, and continue our sustainability efforts while setting clear objectives for the years ahead.
Environmental issues are certainly a priority for us, but this type of program has an even broader impact, as it raises awareness among our employees, guests, and children about sustainable practices that extend well beyond our resort. Our goal is to ensure that future generations can enjoy outdoor experiences just as enriching as those we enjoy today. – Patrice Malo, President and Chief Operating Officer of Mont Tremblant Resort

Offset your CO2 Emission
Offset with Carbone Boréal
Tremblant has partnered with Carbone boréal to give you the opportunity to offset the CO₂ emissions related to your stay. A contribution can be added when booking your lodging and will help fund tree planting in Quebec’s boreal forest, as well as on unused farmland.
Carbone boréal offers a variety of tools to help you calculate your carbon footprint. A $10 contribution roughly offsets the emissions from a 1,400 km ground trip or a 1,000 km flight for two people.
