| Casino du Mont Tremblant |
From Mont Tremblant resort, there are a few other places to
explore. Grandma, of course, checked out the Casino du Mont Tremblant. A
shuttle bus runs regularly from the Village to the casino and in the weekends,
a gondola takes you to the casino as well.
We checked out Centre-ville where they had nice
stores and cafes. Bigger groceries were also in this area. Along Saint Jovite,
we found a boulangerie and here was where we had dinner at Le Cheval de Jade.
We had a nice afternoon stroll here but we imagined it would be more bustling
at night.
We drove a few kilometers to check out Domain
Saint-Bernard. They offer lodging, bird watching, canoeing/kayaking and
swimming, and many hiking trails. They also have an observatory (open on
Saturday evenings) and several picnic spots. We decided to go on one of the
trails that the reception has recommended. She said it was a 1.5 hour trek so
we said, it was great. Only as we were climbing Mont Ononcio did we realize
that this was a 1.8Km trail that was très difficile! This was one of the
hardest trails and terrains we have ever hiked (outside of Colombia). I felt quite old as my knees
started to hurt just as we were coming down from the summit!

But on the way
down, we saw a deer (one of the many we saw along the roads of Mont Tremblant)
upclose, so this made it all worth it.

Closer to the Tremblant resort area, the marina offered a
cruise. The Beach and Tennis club was also nice for swimming,
canoeing/kayaking.

The views were just beautiful.

Nearby, the Parc des Chutes
can be accessed and you can view one of the waterfalls of the area.

There are plenty of activities in and around Mont Tremblant
resort. Definitely worth the trip.
