09 Mont-Tremblant Tour - Mont-Tremblant 2 (Oct 12th)

There are two ways for going up and down the mountain in Mont-Tremblant, either by walk or by cable. Since the time was short, and we also didn't want to spend too much energy on climbing the mountain, cable car was the better choice.

First half of cable is free to all the tourists. It takes tourists to an open ground which is much like a village comprising children's play ground, restaurants, various stores, information centre, hotels etc. Next half is gondola with a charge of $22 per person for tourists who want to reach the peak of the mountain by cable.

"Little Switzerland", here I come

09 Mont-Tremblant Tour - St-Agathe-des-Monts (Oct 12th)

09 Mont-Tremblant Tour - Montebello Hotel (Oct 12th)

I have an interest in viewing colorful foliage especially maple leaves in fall. In my opinion, fall is the best season during the year because it is the time for harvest, and it also presents plentiful colors and gorgeous sceneries.

This year my husband and I joined an one-day tour to Mont-Tremblant of Quebec for seeing maple leaves. The itinerary is:
1. Montebello Hotel
2. St-Agathe-des-Monts
3. Mont-Tremblant

Although the first two places have some good views, our focus is on the final destination - Mont-Tremblant. It is a small village located in Quebec, about two-and-a-half hours driving distance from Ottawa. Mont-Tremblant is a skiing resort in winter and known as "little Swizerland" as its buildings are designed in European's style.
