Combine the great outdoors with a dash of glamour with a stay at these futuristic glamping domes on the shores of Lake Tremblant.

While away a warm summer’s day by heading out for a day by the lake. Take a super relaxing Lake Tremblant cruise tour, where your friendly captain will take you through the history of the lake and the surrounding Laurentian Mountains. Bring your own wine onboard (this is allowed – we’re not suggesting you sneak it on!) to create your very own on-the-water happy hour. Afternoons don’t get more relaxing than this.

All those outdoor activities can take their toll. Treat yourself to a restorative bit of ‘me-time’ at these traditional Scandinavian-style baths. Set in a beautiful forest location next to the Diable River, the spa has everything you need to pamper yourself: Outdoor and indoor pools, saunas and a wide range of massages. Finish off a weekend of winter sports by soaking your aching muscles, or simply come here for a day’s retreat from the pressures of the outside world.

If strapping a pair of planks to your feet and pointing them downhill doesn’t get your heart racing enough, your next port of call should be Ziptrek Eco-Tours.

The longest spans 3,500ft (1,070m) and will provide ample thrills for even the most fearless outdoors enthusiast.

The Panoramic Gondola is open year round to ferry visitors from the base of the mountain to the summit of Mont Raoul-Blanchard, the highest peak of the surrounding Laurentian Mountains. As well as offering access to many walking and snowshoeing trails, the alpine views the gondola provides are stunning. At the top, there’s a 360-degree observation tower offering panoramic views across the mountain range and a cafeteria to refuel after a hard day’s hiking.
