Mont-Tremblant Village, Québec

Mont-Tremblant Village is a pedestrian village busy during the ski season and busy in the off-season. The disney-esque aesthetic is a bit weird but luckily this is a worthwhile stop for Mountain Hiking Trails and good eats. Parking is free in P1 and P2.

An important cultural stop for food is the local micro-brewerie serving gourmet pub fare and artisanal beer at the well-known Microbrasserie La Diable (117 Kandahar, Mont Tremblant, Quebec J0T 1Z0, Canada, tel: +1 819-681-4546).

While the Laurentian Mountains are full of twisty, hilly, motorcycle roads to explore, Chemin Duplessi is one of the best roads that begs to be ridded. From the Village take Chemin des Voyageurs and loop south along Chemin Duplessis for a worthy ride along the Rivière du Diable to Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts.

From Montreal, Hwy 329 offers plenty of twisties for pushing rubber to the edge while 364 and 327 are more leisurely towards the raw nature exposed of Chemin de la Rouge.
