Pros
-
With the village of Mont Tremblant so close one can stay close to the main resort for a fraction of the cost of staying on-site
-
The pedestrian village (due to its pedestrian-only layout) offers, shopping, nightlife, après-ski scene and slope side accommodations.
Cons
- Very expensive for on site parking and most places to eat are more expensive than they need to be a large family will quickly burn through a sizable sum if staying for a while.
- With so many activities a family can again spend through a sizable sum if staying for a while.
