Blue Mountain & Blue Mountain Village, Ontario
Today we are back at Blue Mountain Village Ontario to share with you everything you need to know. The Blue Mountain village is just outside of Toronto, perfect for a long weekend away. Blue Mountain is also the number 1 Ski Resort in Ontario. There is lots to see and do.
Blue Mountain is a recreational area that is about a 2 hour drive from Toronto, Ontario and includes year round activities and various resorts. The Blue Mountain Village area is a dining and entertainment area at the base of the mountain. It is open all year round to enjoy after a hike or skiing. Blue Mountain is best known for its winter activities with 42 Ski runs, 16 ski lifts and 3 terrain parks. Over the warmer months there are over 20 hiking trails and other activities to enjoy.
In the village there is different restaurants and stores. There are 32 restaurants, food outlets and night clubs and 21 different stores to explore. While we were there we tried a few. We visited Rusty's Bar & BBQ, Northwinds Brewpub & Craft Beer Store, and Oliver and Bonacini. Another favourite spot for Linda is Royal Majesty Espresso Bar and Bakery. Whatever you fancy there is a restaurant for you.
Overall Blue Mountain and Blue Mountain village provide a lot of great recreational options for just about anyone. Although we both ski and snowboard you can spend a lot more time here enjoying so many of the other activities, we quite enjoyed hiking the mountain and wondering around. They also have a bunch of special events like a light show / hike on the top of the mountain when we were there or Christmas themed events on now. We really enjoyed our time here, we have stayed at both Blue Mountain Inn and the Westin Trillium House and we have reviews of those rooms as well if your interested in booking.
We hope that you enjoyed our tour of the Blue Mountain resort area. Have you ever taken the Blue Mountain gondola? Do you have a favourite restaurant? Is there somewhere in Ontario you would like us to review? Let us know in the comments below.
