Quebec by Bike

Quebec and Its Many Delights

Quebec offers a wide range of wonders to discover, whether natural, culinary, or historical. Hop on a bike and explore the rolling roads of the Eastern Townships, sample the best of the rich agricultural culture of the Centre-du-Québec, or let yourself be swept away by the enchanting seaside scenery of the Gaspé Peninsula!

Discover Quebec in a Different Way

Going on a cycling vacation is a different way to explore Quebec. Leave the highways behind and take the small, picturesque roads to discover the hundreds of villages that line our travel routes. Each one has its own history, traditions, and charming shops that make you want to stop there all the time! From village to village, you’ll travel from the Estrie to the Beauce, from the Bas-du-Fleuve to the Gaspésie, 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 formidable challenges to riders seeking steep gradients and exceptional panoramic views. It’s more than enough to make your evening meals worthwhile—meals that will immerse you in Quebec’s rich culinary tradition, recognized worldwide for its exceptional local ingredients.

 

Quebec offers a blend of sports, culinary delights, nature, and history. It means exploring stunning rural trails by day and drifting off to sleep after savoring the best of the local cuisine in the evening. It means getting lost in the vastness of the province’s national parks and feeling on top of the world from the peaks you’ll climb by bike.

Quebec is all that—and more! From cities to the countryside, from forests to lakeshores, our Beautiful Province has everything to captivate the cyclist in you.

Would you like to spend a few days in Quebec before your cycling trip begins, or celebrate the kilometers 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 based on your preferences and needs!
