Vallée Bras-du-Nord

Region
Portneuf

An exceptional escape in nature

The Vallée Bras-du-Nord mountain bike trail network is divided into two complementary sectors. The Shannahan area offers long singletracks, perfect for kilometres of easy, continuous biking. The valley wilderness features a variety of bodies of water, unique to the region: streams, rivers and waterfalls truly enhance the experience in nature. The Saint-Raymond area, located closer to the city, offers shorter and more technical trails in a rural setting.

With its new, difficult, and world-class Godzilla track in the Shannahan area, Vallée Bras-du-Nord has further refined its bikepark offering. A sequence of perfect jumps leads to curves and bumps on the mountainside, delivering exhilarating moments throughout the forest underbrush.

The centre owes its growing popularity to the passionate members of the Coopérative de Solidarité Vallée Bras-du-Nord, whose tireless efforts and familiarity with the geology of the region has led to the exceptional quality of the trails. Planning a longer stay? Countless outdoor activities in the area await.
