About this tour
When Tom from our BugBitten team took to the skies above Mont-Tremblant, it was hard not to get caught up in the pure rush of it. These helicopter flights—10 or 20 minutes depending on your appetite—are the only ones operating in the Laurentians, which means you've got a genuinely rare vantage point over the region's forests, lakes, and terrain. The whole experience has a real edge: takeoff is properly thrilling, the views are genuinely expansive, and landing hits differently when you've just floated above everything. Every seat is a window seat, and the pilot talks you through what you're seeing via headset.
Highlights
- Takeoff creates proper adrenaline—not a tame affair.
- Every passenger gets a window; no bad seats in the cabin.
- Pilot commentary gives real context to the landscape below.
- Views span across Laurentian forests and alpine terrain.
- Landing feels as intense as the launch.
- Small groups (max 3) mean no jostling for sightseeing.
- Only helicopter operator licensed in the area.
What to expect
You'll arrive at the helipad and get a quick safety rundown before boarding. The aircraft is snug—just you, the pilot, and up to two others. Takeoff is immediate and genuinely exhilarating; there's no gradual climb, just a quick lift straight up. From there, you're scanning the landscape: dense forest breaks, sparkling lakes, the sprawl of the resort below, seasonal changes depending on when you visit.
The pilot keeps a live commentary going and answers questions via the headset system, so it never feels like dead air. At 10 minutes you're getting the quick thrill and key sights; 20 minutes lets you loop further out and take in more of the region's geography. The landing is controlled but feels just as intense as takeoff. Expect to be buzzing for hours after.

Good to know
This is genuinely unique in the region—there are no other helicopter tours licensed to fly Mont-Tremblant proper. The window seats mean you're not compromised on views, and the small group size (max 3 passengers) keeps it intimate. It's suitable for most fitness levels; you're sitting down the whole time. The pilot's live commentary actually adds value—they're not just making noise.
Helicopter tours are loud inside (headsets help), and some find the intensity of takeoff unsettling rather than thrilling. Weather can cancel flights, particularly in winter or high wind. Infants under 2 sit on a parent's lap and don't count as a passenger, which can feel tight. Pricing sits in premium territory. The experience is brief—even 20 minutes goes fast once you're airborne.
Book ahead, especially peak season. Wear layers (temperature varies with altitude). No heavy baggage. Arrive early for safety briefing. Not wheelchair-accessible due to helicopter design.
