ATV tracks, pine scent, and big mountain views. On this Mont Tremblant side-by-side ATV tour, you ride with ORV-certified guides through boreal forest trails near the National Park for a fun, photo-friendly outdoors hit in just 1.5 hours.

I especially like how smoothly they run the experience. You get safety gear, a clear ride setup, and an off-road route that mixes rocky sections with scenic stops, so even first-timers can feel confident. I also like the views on the Club Iroquois trails, where the pine forests and mountain angles show up at just the right moments for pictures.

One real consideration: in each vehicle, only up to two people can drive, and you swap roles at just one stop. If your group is hoping everyone gets long stretches at the wheel, plan your expectations (and bring good passenger energy).

Key Things to Know Before You Go

• Side-by-side dune buggies fit 1 to 4 people, with a roll cage and 3-point seatbelts
• One driver swap stop, so up to 2 people per vehicle get driving time
• Club Iroquois trails run along the northern edge of the National Park for classic scenery
• ORV-certified guides keep the ride safe and moving on off-road trail networks
• Bring a Visa or Mastercard for a 1500$ security deposit (max 3000$ per group)

What You Ride: Mont Tremblant Side-by-Side ATVs That Feel Built for Real Adventure

This tour is all about the side-by-side ATV, also called a dune buggy. You ride in a vehicle made for off-road use, not a basic rental cart, with a roll cage up top and 3-point seatbelts for each seat.

Your group size is flexible. You can book for 1 to 4 participants in the same vehicle, which is great if you want to keep the day simple with friends or family. And since it is a guided trip, you are not just figuring out trails on your own, you are following a certified guide through the trail network.

The best part for many people is that you do not need previous off-road experience. The tour is set up so you can jump in, listen, and learn on the way, which matters because the terrain can be rough in places. Think of it as a controlled taste of off-road riding, with the hard parts handled by route planning and guide coaching.

Your 1.5-Hour Off-Road Flow, from Briefing to One Driver Swap

The whole experience is about 1.5 hours, and it is usually offered in the morning and afternoon. That timing is perfect when you want outdoor fun without losing an entire day to logistics.

Before you head out, the guide handles the basics and gets you suited up. You get a safety helmet, and if rain comes in during summer, you also get a rain poncho. In winter tours, the key is warm clothing, because you will be sitting in a vehicle while the trails do what trails do.

Here is how driving works, because it affects your expectations. For a vehicle with 3 to 4 people, only up to two participants will be able to drive. There is only one stop during the tour to exchange driver and passenger roles, so you will not rotate multiple times.

Also, you need physical ability to hold on. Participants must be physically able to hold on using the handle installed beside their seat. This is not complicated, but it is important. If you know you struggle with gripping, balance, or staying seated firmly on bumps, it is worth considering before booking.

If you are the driver, you will feel the difference right away. Side-by-sides are made for traction and movement over uneven ground, and you get to experience that firsthand while the guide leads you along the route. If you are riding passenger, you still get the full experience, just with fewer driving moments. Either way, expect plenty of motion and the kind of natural sound that makes you feel like you are really out there.

Club Iroquois Trails, Boreal Forest Pines, and Mountain Photo Moments

The route is built around off-road trails in boreal forest terrain, and you ride through areas connected to several off-road trail networks. That matters because it keeps the scenery varied even within a short 1.5-hour window.

You will spend time on the popular Club Iroquois trails, running along the northern edge of the National Park. That location is a big part of why the experience feels special. You get mountain and pine forest views while still staying on a structured guided route.

What you likely notice first is the forest feel. The boreal forest setting creates that classic mix of dense pine, open glimpses between trees, and trail views that change with every turn. This is not a one-note drive through a flat path. The trail bends and climbs enough to create frequent opportunities to stop, look around, and take photos.

Photo opportunities are part of the point. Even if you do not consider yourself a photographer, you will likely want a few shots. The combination of mountain angles, pine silhouettes, and the side-by-side perspective makes it easy to capture the feeling of being out on the trails rather than just sitting on them.

One more thing to keep in mind, based on the kind of feedback people sometimes share: the route can feel like it goes out and returns along similar trail segments. The riding is still fun, and the scenery is still worth it, but if you are the type who hates repeat scenery, manage that expectation going in. For many groups, the value comes from the experience itself, not from discovering brand-new terrain every minute.

Meeting in Labelle: Old Train Station Directions That Actually Help

The meeting point is in Labelle, and the reception is in the old train station. You should give yourself buffer time, because the directions include a few turns and you want to arrive when everyone is ready to gear up.

From the traffic light in Labelle, turn right onto Rue du Pont. Go over the bridge, then turn left on Rue du Pont. Next, take the first right onto Chemin Allard, then take a left onto Chemin Le Depot. When you get there, the reception is in the old train station.

This matters because the tour is short. If you show up late, you risk missing part of the briefing, and off-road tours depend on everyone being ready to head out as a group. So treat meeting time as part of the experience, not a quick formality.

If you want a smooth start, plan to arrive with your driving documents ready and your clothing sorted. That way, you are not digging for items while the group is waiting.

Price and Value: What $174 Gets You in 90 Minutes

At about $174 per person for a 1.5-hour guided tour, you are paying for three things at once: a guided route, a prepared off-road vehicle setup, and safety support. You are not just renting equipment and wandering.

The included items add real value. You get a helmet, certified guides, and a rain poncho in the rain during summer only. Most importantly, you are getting that guide-led route on established off-road trails, which is what turns a risky idea into a controlled activity.

The group setup can also make this feel more worthwhile. Since one vehicle fits 1 to 4 participants, you are not necessarily paying for a separate vehicle every time. If your group is larger, that can improve the value per person.

But be honest about the driving-share setup. Only up to two people can drive in each vehicle, with just one swap stop. That does not ruin the day, but it does affect who feels like they got their money’s worth. If everyone in your group wants equal time at the wheel, this tour structure is something to consider.

Overall, I would call it a fair price for a guided off-road experience near Mont Tremblant. If you are very price-sensitive or you dislike routes that feel similar on the way back, you might feel it less worth it. If you want a short, well-supported way to try side-by-side riding with mountain views, it is a strong option.

What to Bring: Credit Card, Driver’s License, and Winter-Ready Layers

You will need a few practical items before you even think about the trails. Bring a driver’s license and a credit card.

Plan for a security deposit too. You need Visa or Mastercard for a security deposit of 1500$, with a maximum of 3000$ per group. This is the kind of detail that can surprise people, so it is worth putting it on your mental checklist early.

Clothing matters a lot because the ride is off-road and you are seated while the terrain does its thing. For summer rain, you get a poncho, but you still want clothes that can handle wet and muddy moments. For winter tours, bring warm clothing, since you will be outside and the cold can sneak in between breaks.

Also, remember the physical requirement. You need to be able to hold on using the handle beside your seat. It is not about strength training, but it is about being able to stay secure while the vehicle moves.

Who This Tour Fits Best (and Who Should Skip It)

This is one of those activities that works well for groups who want action without a technical learning curve. It is a great choice if you want no experience necessary fun and you like the idea of guided off-road scenery with photo moments.

It is also designed to be family-friendly in the sense of accessibility to the activity itself. That said, there are clear limits. It is not suitable for pregnant women, and children under 5 years are not allowed.

There is also a practical expectation: you should be physically able to hold on to the handle installed beside your seat. If that is a concern, talk it through before you book.

Good news for mobility planning. The tour is listed as wheelchair accessible. That does not mean every rider will feel exactly the same experience, but it does mean the operator has considered access for this activity.

Finally, if your group is split between first-timers and more experienced outdoor people, the structure can work well. First-timers get the guided support. More experienced folks still get the fun of side-by-side riding and scenery, even if they do not get endless driving time.

Should You Book This ATV Tour? My Practical Take

I would book this Mont Tremblant side-by-side ATV tour if you want a short, well-supported off-road outing with scenic forest views and a real chance at great photos. The combination of roll cage and 3-point seatbelts, certified guides, and the Club Iroquois trail scenery is a solid recipe for a fun half of a day.

You should think twice if your group is focused on maximum driving time. With up to two drivers per vehicle and only one swap stop, some people in the back seats will have more riding than steering. Also, if you are extremely sensitive to price or you hate route repetition, go in with the mindset that it is an experience ride, not a brand-new trail discovery hike.

If you are ready to get a little dusty, take a few photos, and ride through boreal forest with professional guidance, this one fits.
