The drive from Montreal to Mont-Tremblant took about two hours. Mont-Tremblant is one of the major ski resorts near Montreal, and we wanted to see what it looks like and what activities it offers in the summer.
When we arrived in the afternoon, we did not realize that Mont-Tremblant had a Blues Festival. I was surprised that a small ski town could host such an event.
We really liked the look of Mont-Tremblant village and decided to explore further; we found out that Mont-Tremblant has an exceptional Zipline setup for some very exciting zip lining. We decided to give it a shot.
Before going ziplining, we decided to grab some lunch. The friendly people in the village recommended we try Pizzateria, a nearby pizza restaurant.
I ordered a unique salad - "Salad Pizzateria". It was unusual and delicious.
Alex selected the usual "Pizza Margherita." It certainly looked different from other pizzas he had tried.
Inna and I shared an unusual pizza, "Foc Poire Prosciutto."
While eating lunch, a brass band came by and started playing many Jazz tunes. It was great to hear live band music!
Finally, it was time to return to Ziptrek Ecotours. The friendly staff at Ziptrek handed out all of our ziplining equipment, and we put it on.
We boarded the gondola with our guide and headed for the top of Mont-Tremblant.
The very top of Mont-Tremblant is all green with no snow remaining.
We walked to our first Ziplining platform, eager to plunge into the first of many rides.
We were almost ready to take the plunge! The guides followed us to ensure everything was set, including the braking.
The ride down looks pretty steep, so it should be exciting!
Here is a video I shot of our descent. It was exciting and exhilarating!
Inna had an incredible ride down, too, and I captured a part of her run on video:
We had an enjoyable time ziplining, and Alex and Inna managed to ride upside down!
When we finished ziplining, we descended to the village below. It was steep, and Inna was not wearing the best shoes for downhill walking. She slipped and fell, hurting her right ankle. Fortunately, it was not a severe injury, and she could still walk.
While she rested, Alex decided to try some more rock climbing. He did well on a couple of courses but could not quite do the very last, hard one.
There was an exciting luge downhill, and both Alex and I wanted to try it. We purchased tickets and raced against each other!
In the first two races, I beat Alex out. He was unhappy about it, so he beat me in the third and final round. It was so much fun!
Since the Blues Festival was happening, we stopped by a few accessible venues to listen to the music. I liked some of the singers, and we heard them for a while.
Since we couldn't find any available restaurant seating near the music, we walked a bit farther into the village. We found a decent restaurant to have dinner at - Restaurant Coco Pazzo.
Alex ordered a "Pepperoni Pizza" for himself.
Inna and I shared a "Buffalo Mozzarella" appetizer.
I ordered a "Penne Primavera" entree, which tasted delicious and had plenty of cheese on top.
After dinner, we explored the village.
We had a great time at Mont-Tremblant! We wish we had a couple more days to spend on all the outdoor activities, including white-water rafting and hiking.
