Roll up and taste for yourself

The Montérégie bike network stretches over 1,000 kilometres, making it the longest in all of Québec. You can link with it from Montréal, the Eastern Townships and the Centre-du-Québec region. The Montérégie also connects with numerous major signed routes, e.g. La Route Verte, the Trans Canada Trail, Great Lakes Waterfront Trail and Lake Champlain Bikeways. The cycling season here starts earlier than in many other regions in Québec and runs from April to November, so riders have a huge window within which to fully enjoy the vast network and its many itineraries.
