Very nice pictures Noma! I love hiking up the mountain and biking at the Linear Park and the trails on the mountain! Did you hike down or did you come down on the gondola. See any deer? Fall is so beautiful up there and get you all excited about the possibility of winter.
I think the going up at Tremblant is from the "back side" in the old days (like the Soleil side). the Grand Prix des Coleurs may not be the same as the Grand Prix ski trail in the winter. There are several ways you can climb up. My little dog Speed went up there on her own when she was 6 months old and Warp was 1 year old and we put them in two backpacks at the top and ride the chair down (before the gondola days). When you come to Le Caps that would be like the south side going down from Le grand Manitou. The wild flowers shown Golden Rods and Brown Eye Susans are very pretty and they are all over Ontario too in late August. For Smellfish you can look at the trail map of Tremblant in the winter and you can identify them there in the summer. I think they have built a sled to come down half way from the mountain now and kids love it. Trembalnt is truly a 4 season resort and very suitable for family.
In fact they have quite a few trails for bikes that are excellent. Check the map on Linear Park hear the Trembalnt regaion. You can ride all the way to Label or crom the other side to St Faustin. Truly nice rides! Raspberry in August along the way too.
Yeah we went up C several times but we went straight up once as well. C is nice becuase we saw another face of the mountain - the soleil side like you said. You can also bike down the north side in the old days but maybe they disallowed that now. I really enjoyed the hiking. Used to go at least once a year. Whe fall comes the whole mountain is red and yellow. Quite a sight. You can also hike from the top to the Edge also to the Johanson peak. We walked down Nansen one year but i find coming down more tiring than walking up.
Yeah. You are right Ski lover! Now you say that I recognize it is the trail next to Lac Mercier( Lac mercier in the photo with a view to the church and houses in old Village) and the trail will climb up the hill after the Lake and pass a two lane highway and then goes downhill to Conception. After that You pass a road and you can coninue to ride and will reach a nice place for lunch - an organizc farm called I think Les Milfueilies (the thousand leaves - named after a plant which you can make tea from) They served nice summer drinks and wonderful sandwiches and salad - you have edible flowers on the salad - like little violets or violas. You can also camp out there. We often stopped over there to have lunch and then rode back to Mount Trembalnt. If you keep going you will reach Label. I loved that trail and had taken many of my friends and also my doggies (on a baby trailer) many times. I highly recommend that trail.
I have not gone beyond La Bel. So I will like to do that section someday. My old ski school director has a cottage up that way. It must be beautiful. Quebec is really La belle province!
Thanks for the tip. I think I will give that a try next summer! Havenot gone up to MT in the summer for at least 6 years! The last time I went up I think it was 2003 the year my sister passed away!
