Cycling in Gaspésie

Ride between the sea and the mountains 

Gaspésie offers a variety of experiences for cyclists of all levels in spectacular landscapes. 

Here, the sea is omnipresent. You can see it from a mountain bike trail, while taking on the challenge of the Tour de la Gaspésie, or even during a family outing. Every turn of the pedals is an opportunity to enjoy the scenery and reach an even more spectacular viewpoint. 

Mountain biking

The mountain bike centers in the Gaspé Peninsula offer a variety of cross-country, enduro, and downhill trails that will appeal to both beginners and experienced cyclists. The climbs are done independently, with the exception of the Carleton-sur-Mer site, which offers a shuttle service during the summer season. Most of the trails are located in the forest, but several offer breathtaking views of lakes and the sea!
