Boucle brassicole des Cantons
Presentation
Spanning 640 kilometers, the Boucle Brassicole is a gravel bike route connecting some 20 microbreweries in the region, passing through stunning and varied landscapes along easy-to-ride trails. Its success stems from a collaboration among several cyclists from all corners of our region.
You’ll regularly pass through towns and villages, making it easy to restock supplies. The main challenge lies in the elevation gain, which can be steep at times. The technically challenging sections are short: the singletracks of Circuits Frontières on the descent from Mont Hereford, the Chemin de la Pointe near Malvina, and the singletrack on the Bromont loop.
