Vélopiste Jacques-Cartier/Portneuf

Established on an old railway, the Jacques-Cartier/Portneuf cycling path is a direct link to Quebec by bicycle and to Montreal by train. This environmentally friendly cycling path offers a unique 68 km ride from May to October.  Exclusively reserved for cyclists, the path allows for a maximum slope of 3 %, mainly in forested areas, however it also crosses through lovely countryside and renowned vacation spots where you can enjoy other sports, leisure or cultural activities.

One of the first linear parks in Quebec, the Jacques-Cartier/Portneuf cycling path stretches along the old railway from St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier to Rivière-à-Pierre.  Since 1997 cycling enthusiasts can travel along 68 kilometres of stone dust trails.  The path is unique and offers breathtaking vistas of lakes, rivers and mountains.  It is the only trail in the Quebec region reserved for cyclists.  A haven for those who live in the city!
