Mont-Sainte-Anne

Ride and Camp

Combine two passions

This route is perfect for combining the pleasures of camping and mountain biking! In Mont-Sainte-Anne, explore the trail network of the Saint-Julien sector surrounding the campground, or pedal to the base of the mountain to access the gondola. In Vallée Bras-du-Nord, the classic “sweet” trails, the incomparable La Légende, the 3 Neilsons and new trails like the smooth Godzilla await you. You can start your tour at either one of the centres, but make sure to visit Quebec City, located in between the two.

Day 1 - Vallée Bras-du-Nord

Shannahan area

Head to the Shannahan area to access the campsite, which is 300 meters from the entrance. Located at the foot of the Falaises mountain, this is the ideal starting point to make the most of your days of cycling. Allow for a half day riding in the Sucrés sector and La Grande Évasion, Tomahawk, and Grande Ourse trails if you want to rack up the miles.

Day 2 - Vallée Bras-du-Nord

Shannahan area

Save a full day to complete the 3 Neilson trails, a 22-kilometre loop that is one-of-a-kind in Quebec, combining technical zones, solid descents and long ascents. You could also spend the day in the bike park trails, and take on the jumps of the Godzilla, and have fun discovering the newest features of the centre. Whatever you choose, if you still have energy, end the day in style by riding the spectacular La Légende.

Day 3 - Mont-Sainte-Anne

Make your way to the Mont-Sainte-Anne campground. If you wish, plan a short stop to visit Old Quebec and, depending on your schedule, the magnificent Montmorency Falls. As soon as you arrive at the campsite, you will notice that the pitches are located in the very heart of the trails. Now is the time to ride! Boucle d'Or and Germaine are an easy option, or try a combination of Chevy + Boîte à Lunch + Lisière + Bo-bi-ki-ni.

From the campsite, use the Raccourci, Spirale, Cairn and Circuit Jean Larose trails to get to the base of the mountain. Head to the top on the gondola, and descend on La Grisante. Returning to the campsite is a snap. Simply take La Bouttaboutte! After this busy day, you will certainly want to rest at the beach bordering the lake at the campsite.
