A royalty is a percentage applied to the price of all transactions involving goods and services on the Tremblant Resort. It allows the Tremblant Resort Association (TRA), a non-profit organization, to ensure that guests enjoy a unique and truly memorable experience, by offering top-notch entertainment, events and shows, the majority being free, as well as world-class services and facilities.

  • Please note that a royalty equivalent to 3.5% of the price advertised or payable for accommodation and to 3% of the listed or advertised price of the goods and services will be added to your invoice. This royalty corresponds to the percentage of contribution determined by the Tremblant Resort Association.
  • The royalty is applied in accordance with TRA regulations and the Regulation respecting the application of the Consumer Protection Act (articles 91.6 and 91.7).
