Saint-Donat
Miles of trails and plenty of activities!
Right next door to Mont-Tremblant National Park, Saint-Donat is the perfect place to get away from it all. There are free hiking trails, spectacular cycling routes, mountain biking and skill park, canoeing, golfing… and so much more.
The heart of the village is booming with new businesses. The recently-opened Saint-Donat plaza is becoming a popular meeting place and venue for activities. Whatever lodging you choose—an inn, condo, cottage, hut or ready-to-camp tent—there are so many good reasons to stay for a while.
Saint-Donat is the first municipality in Canada to receive the trademark “parc naturel habité” (inhabited natural park), honouring its leadership in sustainable development and protection of its magnificent natural environment. A member of the Fédération des Villages-Relais, the area is more welcoming than ever, offering visitors a stay that’s guaranteed to be memorable.

A true playground in the heart of the village, located on the magnificent shores of Lac Archamchault, Parc des Pionniers offers a multitude of free activities: beach with lifeguard (opening scheduled for June 24), play structures for children, picnic areas, hiking and biking trails.
