Picturesque Canada is here!

Northwest of Toronto and in the heart of what was once Huronia in the 17th century, the Georgian Bay presents a different kind of Ontario, one that is far removed from Toronto's high-rises and large metropolitan areas.

Here, you will discover a picturesque and peaceful Canada, where nature offers you neverending beaches and unforgettable sunsets, especially in Port Elgin, the stopover town on the first day of your journey.

 

What about the Blue Mountains, located on the highest part of the Niagara Escarpment?The Georgian Bay, which you'll cycle along between Owen Sound and Midland, passing through Collingwood, is definitely one of the most beautiful areas in Ontario to cycle. Wide open spaces, historic villages and fine dining will guarantee you an exceptional cycling experience!
