Day 1 - Empire 47

Your 3-day excursion begins at Empire 47, a perfect place to learn and progress. Start your day of mountain biking in an easy loop, which connects beginner trails such as Pètepisrépète and Queue de Castor. For the more advanced, ascend to Summit 1 via the intermediate Apex trail and descend Shaman, finally returning via Flowrentide. Good times for everyone! Now it's time to get set for the next day at Mont-Sainte-Anne. It is preferable to stay overnight somewhere between the two centres or at the Mont-Sainte-Anne campsite.

Jour 2 - Mont-Sainte-Anne

For guaranteed fun, start the day by riding La Boutteaboutte in both directions. If you start from the campsite, be sure to plan a break at the base of the mountain, where there is a nice family atmosphere. If you start from the base of the mountain instead, plan a break at the campsite and a little exploration of the Boucle d'Or and La Germaine trails. Is your clan rather fond of a descent? Use the gondola to climb to the top, then rely on gravity to descend La Grisante.

Jour 3 - Vallée Bras-du-Nord

Shannahan Area

Your getaway wouldn't be complete without a stop at Vallée Bras-du-Nord. Go to the 'sweet' trails and head towards Delaney Falls. If the kids are very young, then you could return via the same trail. Otherwise, have fun on the Sucre d'Orge and Beurre d'Érable trails, which cut across a magnificent maple tree forest.
