Travel tips
Circuit level and degree of effort
Each Vélo Québec Voyages tour is analyzed by our specialists in order to provide you with a realistic picture of the level of effort required for each of our destinations.
When you receive your cycling itinerary, each day will be rated from 1 to 6. This rating takes into account the terrain and daily distances. Weather conditions (sun, rain, wind direction, temperature) and altitude can also influence the level of effort required on a given day.
To help you choose the right tour for you, please feel free to consult our advisors.
