Domaine de la Tranquillité -

Bienvenue - Welcome Domaine de la Tranquillité Un quartier privé sur les rives du Lac Tremblant et du Lac Gervais A private community on the shores of Lac Tremblant and Lac Gervais

.... where the loudest sounds are from loons, ducks and owls ...

Domaine de la Tranquillité is the most private and ecologically preserved neighbourhood in the Mont-Tremblant region. Surrounded by Lac Tremblant and Lac Gervais, tall mountains and wooded lakeside parks, the 31 waterfront lots and 25 interior lots are accessed through the entrance gate on Chemin de la Tranquillité in the Municipality of Lac-Tremblant-Nord. Each lot is at least four acres in size - which is 2 to 10 times larger than typical lots in Mont-Tremblant.

The Domaine was created in 1975 by New Jersey visionary John Best. A pathway in the private park of Domaine de la Tranquilité is named ''La Voie de John - John's Way'' to recognize the major contribution and vision of this individual.

All roads within the Domaine are private. Access to the Domaine is limited to residents and their guests.

The Domaine is managed by the Association Domaine de la Tranquillité, a non-profit corporation. The board of directors is elected by the owners. Each member of the board is a volunteer. Annual dues are used to pay for the maintenance of the 7 km of roads and laneways in the Domaine.

The Domaine de la Tranquillité Private Park connects Lac Tremblant and Lac Gervais and has swimming areas, docks, kayak, canoe and paddle board racks, and picnic tables.

There are more than a dozen hiking trails accessible by foot from the Domaine. These trails are spectacular, offering splendid views of the lakes, mountains and the valleys of the Rivière Rouge and Rivière Cachée. These trails are ideal for snowshoeing in the winter. Residents and their guests can park at the northwest end of Chemin de la Baie des Ours or at the entry gate on Chemin de la Tranquillité to access the trails.

The privacy of the Domaine is ensured by its entry gate on Chemin de la Tranquillité. But the Domaine is also close to all the community amenities offered in the Mont-Tremblant region. From the Domaine entry gate, approximate driving times are as follows:

Summary map of trails and important information

This map shows the foot-accessible trails of Domaine de la Tranquillité. These trails climb to the eight spectacular peaks of Montagne Verte, Nez de l'Indien, La Tuque, Cap 360, Mont Caribou, Mont Gorille, Montagne de l'Ours and Les Portes de l'Enfer. IMPORTANT: None of the trails are patrolled. Hikers and snowshoers cannot be assured of rescue. The trails generally have difficult or extremely difficult sections. Stay on marked trails. Before starting your hike, download the "what 3 words" app ( https://what3words.com/ ), which can greatly assist authorities in identifying your rescue location. Call 911 if you need an emergency evacuation. IMPORTANT: At the request of the Municipality of Labelle, please do not record any of these trails on AllTrails, Strava or other public sites.

La Montagne Verte Loop

The Green Mountain Loop is the most popular public trail in this area. The views are stunning.

Mont Gorille via Lac Inconnu

This beautiful trail is the shortest route to the top of Mont Gorille - an 8.0 km round trip. The trail climbs the Gorille Creek Canyon and later crosses a beaver dam before joining the Sentier national au Québec, not far from the top of Mont Gorille. IMPORTANT: Please do not record any of these trails on AllTrails, Strava or other public sites. Trailhead: At the northwest end of Ch de la Baie des Ours Round Trip: 8.8 km Difficulty: Moderate Trail Marking: Starting at the northwest end of Ch del la Baie des Ours, turn right onto the road towards Domaine de la Grande Ourse, and head down the hill. The trailhead is on the left side of the road, about 250 metres after the bridge. There is a small stone cairn to mark the start. Take the trail up a steep hill and you will soon start to see turquoise markers. Follow the turquoise markers for a little over two kilometers until the intersection with the Sentier national au Québec. Turn right and follow the red and white markers for about 700 meters to the viewpoint at the top of Mont Gorille. To make the round trip, you must exit by the same route you took at the beginning.

The Portes de l'Enfer Loop

This trail consists of a loop around the top cliffs of Les Portes de l'Enfer. Offering splendid views of Lac Tremblant, the Rivière Cachée marshlands, the Nez de l'Indien, the Montagne Verte and the high peaks of Mont Tremblant, this trail is a favorite of Domaine residents. According to legend in this area, there is only one way to reach the top of Les Portes de l'Enfer and one way to get down. Go try it! IMPORTANT: Please do not save any of these trails on AllTrails, Strava or other public sites. Start: At the northwest end of Chemin de la Baie des Ours Round trip: 5.5 km Difficulty: Difficult Trail markings: Starting at the northwest end of Ch del la Baie des Ours, turn right onto the road towards Domaine de la Grande Ourse and head down the hill. The trailhead is on the left side of the road, about 250 meters after the bridge. There is a small stone cairn to mark the start. Take the trail, as it climbs up a steep hill and you will soon see turquoise markers. Follow the turquoise markers for about 200 meters until the intersection with the Rivière Cachéé trail. Turn right onto the Rivière Cachéé trail and follow the white markers. This trail climbs a steep hill next to an impressive cliff. At the top of the hill, there is another intersection. Turn right and follow the orange markers for the Portes de l'Enfer trail. Once you reach the viewpoint at the top, you can continue straight ahead to do the loop, still following the orange markers. There is a perilous descent (especially in winter) and the trail remains spectacular throughout. After a little over a kilometer, you will arrive at an intersection with the Rivière Cachée trail and Petit Lac du Mont Gorille trails. Turn left and follow the white markers to complete the loop. You must exit by the same route taken at the start.

Mont La Tuque Loop

This trail offers spectacular views of Lac Gervais, the Montagne Verte and the farms of the Rouge River Valley. At the top of Mont La Tuque, you will pass through a splendid forest of red pines. Once at the summit, you can follow the white markers to circle the summit and descend the north side of Mont La Tuque to Chemin du Lac Gervais.

Difficulty: Difficult Trail markings: white markers

Mont Gorille via Petit Lac du Mont Gorille

This trail is moderately difficult up to Petit Lac du Mont Gorille, but after that, the trail is extremely difficult - steep, rocky, muddy, and often slippery and treacherous as you climb the last 200 vertical metres to join the Sentie national au Québec, near the viewpoint at the top of Mont Gorille. But the rewards are worth it. The huge mossy boulders, fixed rope sections and cliff views near the summit are superb attractions for experienced hikers. In winter, it is too dangerous to continue past Petit Lac du Mont Gorille. IMPORTANT: Please do not record any of these trails on AllTrails, Strava or other public sites. Start: The northwest end of Chemin de la Baie des Ours. Round trip: 8.8 km Difficulty: Very difficult Trail markings: Starting at the northwest end of Ch del la Baie des Ours, turn right onto the road towards Domaine de la Grande Ourse, and go down the hill.

Take the trail, which climbs up a steep hill, and you will then start to see turquoise trail markers. Follow the turquoise markers for a little over 200 meters until the intersection with the Rivière Cachée trail. Turn right and follow the white markers for about a kilometer. At the top of a pass, you will see the first intersection with the Portes de l'Enfer trail. Continue straight ahead and follow the white markers for another 600 meters until the second intersection with the Portes de l'Enfer trail. Turn left and follow the deep blue sky markers for about 1.8 kilometers towards Petit Lac du Mont Gorille. When you reach Petit Lac du Mont Gorille, turn left and follow the white markers to reach the viewpoint at the top of Mont Gorille. The trail between Petit Lac du Mont Gorille and the summit is extremely steep and difficult. There are ropes to help you climb the more difficult sections. When the trail is wet, it is very slippery and dangerous. Do not use this trail in winter.

Cachée River and Bear Falls

This trail provides access to the Chutes à l'Ours and the Pont Fortin on the Rivière Cachée. This trail is also the access route to the trails of Les Portes de l'Enfer, and the two trails to Mont Gorille. The trail at Chutes à l'Ours and Pont Fortin is rated moderate.

Continue straight ahead and follow the white markers for about 2 kilometers towards the Rivière Cachée. The white markers continue until you reach the gravel patrol road of the Parc national du Mont-Tremblant.

Mount Caribou and Cap 360 Loop

Ce sentier en boucle débute dans la vallée entre le Mont Caribou et le Mont Gorille et monte jusqu'à la ligne de crête du Mont Caribou. À cet endroit, vous pouvez choisir soit la route de droite (en direction du Mont Caribou et Cap 360) ou de gauche (en direction de Stone Raven et Cap 360) pour atteindre le sommet du Cap 360. Les deux voies offrent des vues splendides. Cependant, il est préférable de choisir la route de droit. Les vues du sommet du Cap 360 sont parmi les plus belles de la région.
