Quebec by bike

Quebec and its many pleasures

Quebec has a wide range of natural, gastronomic and historical wonders to discover. Cycle the hilly roads of the Eastern Townships, taste the best of the rich agricultural culture of Centre-du-Québec or take in the enchanting seaside of the Gaspé Peninsula!

Discover Quebec differently

A cycling vacation means exploring Quebec in a whole new way. Leave the highways behind and discover the hundreds of villages that line our itineraries. Each has its own history, traditions and charming shops that make you want to stop again and again! From village to village, you'll travel from the Eastern Townships to the Beauce, from the Bas-du-Fleuve to the Gaspé, from the Laurentians to the Outaouais.

Challenge-seeking cyclists are in for a treat! The valleys of Charlevoix and the Eastern Townships offer great challenges for cyclists in search of steep gradients and exceptional panoramas. Your evening meals will be well worth the effort, as you immerse yourself in Quebec's rich gastronomy, world-renowned for its exceptional local foods.

 

Quebec is an amalgam of sporting, gourmet, natural and historical pleasures. It's about exploring superb country lanes by day and falling asleep to the best of local cuisine by night. It's getting lost in the immensity of the province's national parks, and feeling great from the top of the peaks you'll climb by bike.

Quebec is all this and more! Between cities and countryside, forests and riverbanks, our beautiful province has everything to seduce the cyclotourist in you.

Would you like to spend a few days in Quebec before the start of your cycling trip, or celebrate the kilometers covered at the end of your stay with a few extra days in Montreal or Quebec City? No problem! Contact our agents and they'll suggest options to suit your needs!
