Mont Tremblant pedestrian village, Quebec, Canada
At the base of the ski lifts, is a pedestrian village designed in a colorful style reminiscent of Quebec’s French heritage. There are shops and restaurants, and it really does feel like you are in a mountain town in Europe, like Chamonix or Les Arcs in France.
Mont Tremblant, view from the gondola
We visited in the fall of 2022 and the leaves were just starting to change color. It’s more than what we have in California and the Sierras, so we were impressed despite it being early in the season.
Depending on traffic and road conditions, it takes about 1.5-2 hours to drive from Montreal to Mont Tremblant and the scenic drive is lovely, especially as we approached the Laurentian Mountains.
We drove north from Montreal to reach Mont Tremblant and proceeded southeast to return to Montreal. There were charming and picturesque towns along the way making it a truly enjoyable road trip.
Le Bistro Montebello, Montebellow, Quebec, Canada
We stopped in Montebello for dinner at a cute and surprisingly good restaurant called Le Bistro Montebello. Montebello is known for the “Château Montebello resort, the largest log structure ever built.” Unfortunately, it is now a Fairmont property, and they were only allowing hotel guests on the property.
Montebello was one of the charming towns on the road between Mont Tremblant and Montreal
Ottawa River, Quebec, Canada
We haven’t driven through a lot of Canada (nor have we seen much of Canada in general) and we really enjoyed the gorgeous scenery including this magnificent sunset at the Ottawa River. In June, we are going to Vancouver and we look forward to exploring the western side of the country.
