About us

65 years on and more inviting than ever

It was back in 1953, in Val-David in the heart of the Laurentians that Good Old Santa Claus first opened the doors of his summer residence. 65 years later, Le Village du Père Noël is more inviting and more popular than ever, thanks to the many improvements to the site over the years. Even when staying in his summer residence, Santa Claus is constantly looking for new and original ways to entertain children and their parents.

A beautiful green village

At the village, we place great importance in sustainable development. We have, for instance, reduced the quantity of waste sent to landfill by 78%, which enabled us to achieve Recyc-Québec’s level 2. This is the highest level possible and it was awarded in recognition of our best practices in recycling and reduction of waste sent to the landfill.

During your next visit, you can do your part by using the on-site recycling bins. You can take this opportunity to teach your children the importance of the three Rs: reduce, reuse, recycle, and, thus, help them on their way to becoming proud contributors to the environmental effort!

An employer of choice

For many of our staff members, Le Village du Père Noël is often their first employer. That’s why we provide the necessary training and coaching to help them develop their full potential. Not surprising that Le Village du Père Noël was named Employer of Choice in 2011 by the Mont-Tremblant Chamber of Commerce and Emploi-Québec!

Come work with us!

It is now too late to send us your resume. Mark the date for next year. Get busy around Febuary 2024..

Tourism Awards

We won two other prestigious awards, including the jury’s « Coup de Coeur » Prize at the 2014 Quebec tourism awards. Bravo to the entire team!

Any questions?

Here are some answers!

The Village is open all summer – 7 days a week – 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

You and your little ones are welcome 7 days a week, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., from June 21 to August 24, and we are open for Labor Day on September 30, 31, and 1, 2025.
Closed from August 25 to 29, 2025

Doors open at 10:00 a.m., but you can arrive at any time of the day. Don’t forget that parking is free!

We really look forward to seeing you!!!

As it is often a few degrees cooler in Val-David that in regions of Quebec located more to the south, we recommend that you bring a jacket or sweater that you can put on or remove as needed.

Please note that a day at the Village can be just as successful on a sunny day or when it’s cloudy. In the event of a downpour, visitors can find cover under the shelters provided to this end, giving you time to rest a little before you get back to the fun once the rain is over.

If the weather forecast predicts uninterrupted rain, the Village will close its doors for the day, a situation which only occurs once or twice a season.

If in doubt, we recommend that you visit the Village’s website before you leave. Keep in mind that even the most beautiful sunny day needs a little rain to make a rainbow.

It’s up to you!

Of course, you can carry your lunch with you and enjoy it peacefully on one of the many picnic tables scattered throughout the Village site.

If you have a cooler, you can leave it in your car and pick it up at lunchtime. To make your experience more enjoyable, we recommend that you bring a tablecloth.

Feel like forgetting your apron for one day? Don’t hesitate to turn to our snack-bar. Our menu combines a variety of popular snacks and traditional healthy options. The selection includes wraps, Christmas ‘poutine’ and several other original dishes.

We are sure you understand that because we have several farm animals already on site, it would be impossible to admit your pet. Of course, we hope that you will find a solution for the care of your small animal.

Regulations do not allow you to bring alcoholic beverages onto the Village site. However, you will be able to get a nice cold “Christmas Beer” at the snack bar and enjoy it while your children are having fun.

Yes, we rent carts for the little ones. Just ask your Elf when you arrive.

Please note that they are disinfected before and after each use.

Of course they are welcome!

Although the Village is aimed mainly at toddlers aged 2 to 8, some teens find it very suitable for them. These are, for example, those who enjoy having fun with their little brother or sister. They can indeed accompany them throughout the day. They will have as much fun as them in the zip line, the climbing wall, etc. These activities have no age!

So take your teenagers with you, they will come back delighted!

Only for groups.

We recommend that you reserve now to ensure a place for the day of your choice. 

Once in the Ticket Office, it will be very easy for you to see on which days there are still capacity left. Indeed, once you have entered your number of tickets, a calendar will appear and allow you to see the days (in green) on which there is at least the number of tickets you have entered. All you have to do is choose the day that suits you best.

Yes

Go to the « Buy » page to book your tickets. We look forward to having fun with you and your little ones!

The « Access 2 Card » is a program that promotes an active lifestyle for people with disabilities who need a support person to fully participate in activities.

The Village is a proud participant in this program, and therefore allows support persons authorized by a personalized “Access 2 Card” to access the Village site free of charge. Please note that the person with a disability pays the regular admission fee.

Support persons do not have to be registered in advance, you do not have to purchase tickets for them, nor do you even have to specify the number of persons at the time of purchase in the Virtual Ticket Office. All they must do is identify themselves by presenting their “Access 2 Card” at the Reception Desk.

You can book your tickets on the date of your choice with absolute confidence, since you can reschedule (change of plans, etc.) at no charge.

A 5% administration fee will be retained only if you cancel completely (95% will be refunded).

If the Village is closed due to rain, you will be invited to choose another date at no charge, and no administrative fees will be retained if you cancel completely.
