Mont Tremblant: More than a Ski Town

Today we are featuring Deana Prud’Homme who has been living in Tremblant for 13 years. Her love for snowboarding, music industry, and her work in the tourism industry has given her the chance to experience everything Tremblant has to offer year round. You can follow Deana on her blog www.blogtremblant.com/  to read more about events and activities happening in Mont Tremblant.

Mont Tremblant is considered an international renowned ski destination but it’s so much more than that, in recent years Mont-Tremblant has become a popular getaway for tourist and locals alike for both winter and  summer activities. The great mountain, lake, restaurants, shops, spas, and hospitable people are just a few reasons why you should visit Mont Tremblant.

Aside from skiing, there are plenty of other great things to do.  I always mention to guests to make sure that if they come during the winter to try out dogsledding,  it’s a fantastic experience.  There is nothing like rounding up your own dogs  and tying them up to your sled yourself to really get the adventure started.  Expedition Wolf is my favorite dogsledding place,  they have been around for quite some time and the fact that you can participate in the dog handling really makes the experience hands on.

Ice skating at night is another fantastic thing to do,  I like to go in the Old Village of Tremblant on Lac Moore. It is only a 4 minute car ride off resort but it’s not a manmade rink,  it is located on a lake that is lit up at night and just looks magical.  I’m also a fan of the guided snowshoeing tour at night.  You have to request it at the Activity Center on the resort, it’s called the Fireman tour and it’s a different experience than a normal tour.  The guide who does this is incredible,  he knows the mountain like the back of his hand.
