SAGUENAY–LAC-SAINT-JEAN BIKE EXPERIENCE
A diversified circuit and personalized experiences ... for everyone!
Travelling along the Véloroute des Bleuets and the Véloroute du Fjord du Saguenay, the trails are divided into sections. Each of these sections connects municipalities between themselves, and are classified according to the category they are aiming at. Five different categories of clientele have been established: FAMILY/RECREATIONAL
The experience intended for family and recreational cyclists is composed of cycling trails and designated roadway sections with little to no elevation gain. Identified in green. TOURING CYCLIST
The experience intended for touring cyclists offers sections with paved shoulders with a minimal three-foot width (one metre) and hills with little change in elevation (moderate elevation gain). Identified in yellow. PERFORMANCE CYCLING
The experience is intended for performance cyclists and allows the cyclist to undertake the circuit’s most challenging sections. One can expect paved shoulders and hills with risk of high changes in elevation. Identified in red. MOUNTAIN BIKE
The experience aiming at mountain bike users proposes several different centres where you can find more then 300 km of trails, with varying levels of difficulty. FATBIKE
The experience aiming at fatbike users proposes 140 km of trails maintained and marked for a secure experience in surroundings catered to beginners as well as experienced bikers.
When a section of the circuit is composed of one or more different roadway surfaces (bicycle trail, paved shoulder or designated shared roadway), it will be identified by the colour implying the closest proximity to automobile traffic.
