Going on a cycling vacation is a unique way to explore Quebec. Leave the highways behind and take the scenic backroads to discover the hundreds of villages that line our routes. Each one has its own history, traditions, and charming shops that make you want to stop and explore them all! From village to village, you’ll travel from the Eastern Townships to Beauce, from the Lower St. Lawrence to the Gaspé Peninsula, and from the Laurentians to the Outaouais.
Cyclists looking for a challenge are in for a treat! The valleys of Charlevoix and the Eastern Townships offer serious challenges for riders seeking steep gradients and exceptional views. It’s more than enough to make your evening meals worthwhile, as you’ll dive into Quebec’s rich culinary tradition, renowned worldwide for its exceptional local ingredients.
Quebec offers a blend of outdoor activities, culinary delights, natural beauty, and history. It means exploring stunning country roads by day and drifting off to sleep after savoring the best of local cuisine in the evening. It means getting lost in the vastness of the province’s national parks and feeling a sense of grandeur from the peaks you’ll climb by bike.
Quebec is all that and more! From cities to the countryside, from forests to lakeshores, our Belle Province has everything to appeal to the cyclist in you.
Would you like to spend a few days in Quebec before your cycling trip begins, or celebrate the miles you’ve covered at the end of your trip with a few extra days in Montreal or Quebec City? No problem! Contact our agents, who will suggest options tailored to your preferences and needs!
