Parc National du Mont-Tremblant

Our first goal of the day was to find a mechanic who knows Opel (Renault) in the hope that someone can fix the turbocharger. And right the first one was very helpful by giving us the contact info of a mechanic about 1.5 hours North of Montreal. And apparently he had only time for us today, so we drove there right away. But when we arrived he said that he can only help us tomorrow so we'd have to spend the day there.
It turned out to be easier than expected. There's a lovely little town for the winter tourism, "Le Village" - an old town at a lake and a national park. We quickly checked out the first two and then went to the National Park. This turned out to be a "Provincial National Park", so it's not included in our Canada Discovery Pass. There were quite a lot of things to do but we didn't have enough time for most, so we sticked to two smaller walks to waterfalls and one 5km return hike to a viewpoint. After we got into a downpour, the free hot showers were more than welcome.
We decided to drive back to the town for dinner but found a nice, covered picnic area on the way and prepared some ramen soup with corn. For the night we're staying at the parking lot of the gondolas. It's super quiet and peaceful.Leia mais
