Only a 1h30 drive from Montreal and just 20 minutes from Mont-Tremblant, Dôme Le Dodo at Domaine l'Évasion lets you sleep under the stars without giving up any comfort. Tucked away in Lac-Supérieur, this intimate dome for two combines a king-size bed, a gas fireplace, heated floors, a four-season spa, and a private deck with a BBQ — all surrounded by forest.

It's the perfect base for a two-night summer getaway, blending on-site relaxation with outdoor activities in one of the most beautiful regions of the Laurentians.

The dome: a cozy retreat in the heart of nature

The dome offers wide views of the surrounding forest, a fully equipped kitchen (mini-fridge, cooktop, Bodum coffee maker with coffee included, dishwasher), a private shower, and air conditioning for warm summer nights. The private spa and outdoor fire pit (firewood provided) make it the perfect spot to wind down after a day of activities, while the on-site walking trail invites a quiet stroll before sunset.

A few things to know for a smooth summer stay: the site is deep in the woods, so bring insect repellent, and download your shows and movies before you arrive — there's no Wi-Fi and cell service is limited inside the dome, making it the perfect invitation to fully unplug. A projector is available so you can watch your downloaded shows and movies.

Day 1: Arrival and Laurentian heights

After the drive, settle in and spend the afternoon exploring the immediate surroundings. Just 13 minutes from the dome, Sentier des Cimes Laurentides (Mont-Blanc sector) offers an easy, family-friendly hike featuring suspended walkways and a 40-metre observation tower with a 360° view of the region — in summer, the Là-Haut circus show is even added to the daytime course. Budget around $67.80 for 2 adults at the regular rate (taxes
extra); online booking is only required on Odyssée des couleurs weekends in the fall.

In the evening, head back to the dome for a meal prepared in the full kitchen, then enjoy the spa and outdoor fire pit under the stars.

Day 2: The great outdoors in the Laurentians

Dedicate your full day to the region's activities:

In the morning, head to Parc national du Mont-Tremblant (27 minutes away) for a hike — trails range from short and easy to longer routes, depending on how you're feeling that day. Thrill-seekers can try the Via Ferrata du Diable, a mix between hiking and rock climbing.

In the afternoon, go for a canoe or kayak trip down the Rivière Rouge, 24 minutes from the dome. The calm, shallow stretch between markers 12 and 24 takes 2.5 to 4 hours depending on how many stops you make, winding past farms, cottages, and sandy beaches — an accessible activity with no whitewater, perfect for an afternoon with a partner or friends.

Looking for a different pace? The Saint-Faustin-Lac-Carré municipal beach (9 minutes away) is open from late June to early September for swimming, Ranch Ladouceur (11 minutes away) offers horseback riding, Club de Golf Les Ruisseaux (14 minutes away) welcomes golfers, and Scandinave Spa Mont-Tremblant (23 minutes away) offers an outdoor thermal relaxation experience to end the day on a peaceful note.

In the evening, return to the dome for one last campfire before departing the next day.
