The Challenge

Day 1: Alma to Dolbeau-Mistassini (100 km)

You will start your bike trip by leaving Alma. Heading towards Dolbeau, you will pass through the Pointe-Taillon National Park. Once you arrive at your destination, you can taste local flavors such as chocolate-covered blueberries or enjoy a good regional beer at the microbrewery Le Coureur des Bois before heading to your accommodation.

Day 2: Dolbeau-Mistassini to Roberval (90 km)

Pedal towards Roberval for your second day. Stop for a short break at a local cheese factory. Then, visit the Mashteuiatsh ilnu museum before ending the day by admiring the lake view from the Roberval marina. Enjoy the sunset before heading to your accommodation for the night, or continue your journey towards Chambord to visit the historic village of Val-Jalbert, where time seems to have stood still in the 1920s. You will also have the option to spend the night there.

 Day 3: Roberval to Hébertville (55 km)

Leave Roberval or Val-Jalbert to head towards Hébertville. Make a stop at the Parc du Trou de la Fée in Desbiens or enjoy the beaches and various harvests in the municipality of Métabetchouan-Lac-à-la-Croix before starting your journey towards Hébertville. You will encounter some elevation changes and a bit of a challenge. Rest at your accommodation, a peaceful converted presbytery where history and delicious food await you.

Day 4: Hébertville to La Baie (85 km)

You will leave the shores of Lake Saint-Jean to head towards Saguenay. You will cross the Kénogami horst, a natural barrier with irregular relief, so expect some elevation changes. Along the way, you will have the opportunity to visit the famous Petite Maison Blanche in Chicoutimi. Then, head to La Baie to reach your accommodation. Take advantage of the Pavillon des Croisières to admire the vastness of Baie des Ha! Ha! And why not have dinner at Cantine Boivin?

Day 5:  La Baie - Sainte-Rose-du-Nord - Tadoussac (85 km)

It's the day where you can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Tadoussac, observe whales, and why not go on a zodiac or kayak excursion. Also, take the opportunity to visit small shops and local attractions, such as the Marine Mammal Interpretation Centre, for example.

Day 7:  Morning in Tadoussac and return by shuttle
