Fat Biking
Riding a bike during the winter is usually the last thing on anyone’s mind, but that’s not always the case in Mont Tremblant. Mountain biking in the snow is an exhilarating experience that the entire family can enjoy. A “fat bike” is basically a mountain bike with extra-large tires that can handle the demands of winter riding. They’re ideal for virtually any type of rough terrain and there are approximately 35 kilometers of trails designated for fat biking.
Nightlife
Although quite small compared to Montreal, Mont Tremblant does have a thriving party scene. This is due to the large number of young tourists and locals. Along with all the bars and clubs, the winter season also brings a number of outdoor concerts to the area. For those who enjoy the gambling scene, the Casino de Mont Tremblant has over 500 slot machines and a variety of card games and gaming tables to choose from. If you’re a night owl, there’s more than enough going on to ensure that you enjoy your stay in Tremblant.
Dune Buggy Tours
If you’ve never gone on a winter dune buggy tour, you have no idea what you’re missing. Imagine a thrilling 90-minute ride through the surrounding forest with breathtaking views of the woods and nearby lakes. Don’t forget to take a camera, as these areas lie alongside trails that are limited to dune buggies and it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to return for pictures unless you take another tour.
