After breakfast at our hotel, and then checking out, we'll embark on a 3.5 hour guided cycling tour of the beautiful and fascinating city of Montreal. We'll conclude our tour with a cafe lunch, then load into the van for the 2.5 hour ride northwest of Montreal to Mont Laurier, the start of the Petit Train du Nord.  We'll check into our hotel there and go to dinner at local brewpub, then get a good sleep in anticipation of our four day journey ahead!

The day is yours to explore and enjoy the bustling resort village of Mont Tremblant. The website GoBiking.ca describes it thusly: "It is the eastern equivalent to the Whistler Resort on the west coast, and it offers a Disneyland-like recreation of an alpine town. Although built to be next to the large ski hills, it operates as a year round resort. It is big, busy, and somewhat expensive. Needless to say, it is overflowing with specialty boutiques, stores, hotels, restaurants, and, of course, tourists." You're welcome to take your bike to explore the original village and the area, or you may opt to hike or ride the gondola to the summit for a panoramic view of the region we're riding.

Today's ride features a gentle climb through lush forests as we skirt the shoulder of Mont Blanc. We stop in the vicinity of St Faustin for a picnic lunch at one of the many stations along the trail.  After lunch we will continue on to Saint Agathe-des-Monts for our final night's stay of the tour at the luxurious Manoir Stonehaven, on the shore of Lac des Sables.  Enjoy the lake with just a stroll, a visit to the municipal beach, or rent a kayak or paddleboat for a different view!
