Discover the Renovated Le Grand Manitou at Mont Tremblant
Mont Tremblant, a beloved destination for outdoor enthusiasts, is undergoing a transformation that promises to enhance the visitor experience. Announced on March 12, 2018, Alterra Mountain Company has embarked on a series of major investments across its properties, with Mont Tremblant Resorts and Company at the forefront. Among the exciting developments is the renovation and expansion of Le Grand Manitou, a pivotal lodge located at the summit. This project is part of a broader initiative that includes replacing the Lowell Thomas chairlift, opening new glades, and renovating the Fourchette du Diable on the North side, along with various other improvements.
The expansion of Le Grand Manitou is particularly noteworthy. Designed to better accommodate guests, the lodge now boasts an abundance of windows that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Additionally, the seating capacity has been increased by 400, ensuring that more visitors can enjoy the comfort and amenities of this iconic location. The food service area has also been completely redesigned, promising an enhanced dining experience for all who visit.
Construction has been a meticulous process, involving a team of six formworkers who dedicated two weeks to complete the custom formwork. This required over 550 planks of 2×4 and 80 sheets of 3/4-thick plywood. More than 22 cubic metres of concrete were used to pour the pilasters for the southern extension, with a curing process that took 28 days to reach full strength. The new structure incorporates over 8 tons of steel, underscoring the scale and ambition of the project.
What Makes This Experience Special
The renovation of Le Grand Manitou is a testament to Mont Tremblant’s commitment to providing an exceptional experience for its visitors. The lodge’s expansion not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also its functionality. With the steel structures in place by the end of August, the project remained on schedule, allowing for the installation of walls, roofs, and windows. This timely progress ensures that the improvements will be ready for the ski season opening in November, offering guests a refreshed and modernized setting to enjoy the mountain’s offerings.
