With A Clear Sky ... Not!

     Mont Tremblant is open year round. The best  time to visit depends upon your interests. For skiers, the winter months are the favourite time to visit Mont Tremblant but those like us who do not ski, activities, shopping and sightseeing are available.

Here we are in another large chair on October 14, 2022 in the 

Village of Tremblant.

    We visited Mont Tremblant twice in 2021, once in the summer as we were heading home from one of our trips and in the fall. In the summer we leisurely explored the Mont Tremblant Centre-Ville, walking along the main street and going into the many boutiques and antique shops. Formerly know as Saint-Jovite until 2000 when several towns were merged into the City of  Mont Tremblant; it was a bustling town. 

Walking along the main street, we came across a

unique garden installation in front of the grocery store.

This automobile is made of plants and was very interesting.

The things you can do with plants. Amazing!

Down the street sits another plant installation of 

a tourist or is it a local resident resting while out shopping?

    We then moved onto the Mont Tremblant resort where skiers, tourists and residents alike enjoy the resort year round. By the time we got to the Mont Tremblant Resort area it was very busy and the numerous parking lots were full. Since we were pulling our trailer, we decided to head home knowing that we would return in the fall to see the 'colours'. October came quickly and we finally got back to the resort. The day was a cross between a sunny and foggy day. The colours, unfortunately, were near the end of their peak but we got to travel up the mountain.

We had a clear view of the colours.

We weren't even to the top when we entered the fog zone

and we could not see anything.

Behind me is the fog as we ascend to a higher elevation.

Others are also sitting looking out over the fog.

This must be what it is like inside a cloud. 

At the top of the mountain it was an eerie scene. 

This would have been an excellent location as well as the day's 

weather conditions for a murder mystery or horror film.

The look of abandonment. What could happen here...

Travelling down in the cable car we emerge 

from the fog and again can see the last of the fall colours.

The resort and ski area have many trails and offer

many events such as concerts, etc.

    On the way home, we stopped at the Mont Tremblant Old Village and had a tea/coffee at a sidewalk cafe. It was nice to just sit and observe the comings and goings of people. 

    We drove a different route going home and we saw this lovely lake and had to stop for a photo. 

A lovely reflection of the mountains in this peaceful lake.

Orange coloured leaves on this tree was a sample of colours 

in the area. It looks like a Group of Seven landscape!

    Quebec is fortunate to have the Laurentian Mountains and one end of the Appalachian Mountain range within its borders.  This has provided the ideal conditions for many great ski resorts, hiking routes and cottage areas.  What a wonderful country we live in!
