Itinerary

Day 1: Alma to Péribonka (70 km)

For your first day, hit the road towards Péribonka, where you will stay in a charming lodge. Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to make a stop at the Odyssée des Bâtisseurs Museum in Alma. Then, you'll cross through Pointe-Taillon National Park, providing the chance to enjoy the sandy shores of lake Saint-Jean for a delightful swim. 

Day 2: Péribonka to Normandin (65 km) 

Heading towards Normandin! You'll have the opportunity to admire numerous blueberry fields, visit the Louis-Hémon Museum, and explore the historical site of the Old Mill if you wish. Don't miss the chance to taste the delicious chocolate-covered blueberries. Once you arrive at your destination, you'll be accommodated in a lodge.

Day 3: Normandin to Roberval (56 km)

Pedal towards Roberval, where the Véloroute des Bleuets will run along the majestic lake Saint-Jean. Be sure to savor the local flavors at the Bouchard Artisan Bio artisanal cheese dairy. If you're interested, consider a visit to the Ilnu Museum of Mashteuiatsh. Afterward, take in the stunning landscapes of Roberval's marina before heading to your accommodation.

Day 4: Roberval to Alma (70 km)

Begin your last day by following the shores of Métabetchouan. The good news is that you will be descending, so take advantage of the gravity-assisted ride to relax and appreciate the landscapes, as well as the weather if it's mild. Make as many stops as necessary to savor the good moments and enjoy the beaches to refresh yourself. Make a tasting stop at the Lac-Saint-Jean microbrewery and at the Médard cheese-bakery in Saint-Gédéon. To complete the tour around the lake, return to your starting point: our agency in Alma.
