Hangin' in Mont Tremblant, QC

We walked to the “pedestrian village” of Mont Tremblant (about 15 minutes), which is made up of the Tremblant resort hotels, condos, restaurants, ski lifts, marina, etc., built into the mountain.

We had Blizzards (a beer with hints of ginger, orange and coriander) at La Diable, a microbrewery (we later went back there for supper).

Then we took the gondola up the mountain. It is almost 900 metres at the top and there’s a great view.

We had a couple drinks on the deck of Grand Manitou,
the restaurant at the top.



They have chairs set up on the side of the mountain
so we spent some time enjoying the view
.

Then we headed back down to the village again. This weekend there was a Latino festival going on so we enjoyed a couple hours of tunes.

The liquor laws in the pedestrian village are very relaxed … much different from Toronto. Here you can buy a can of beer at the liquor store and walk around with it. Or you can buy a drink from a vendor and take a stroll.
