Quebec Monteregie Route-Verte
Bicycle Tour
Located between Montreal and the Appalachian Mountains near New York State, Montérégie offers nearly 1,000 km of designated bikeways, including 600 km of paved bike paths! Derived from the Latin form of the name Mont-Royal (mons regius) is named after the five hills that form the range between Montreal and the U.S.A.
The terrain of our riding however is the flattest we have ever had, the five big hills are set as nature preserves and out route goes around them. This allows us to do more distance – don’t be put off by the daily distance totals, we will not have many climbs and should easily move along. Some days will have longer options, and a few will have short-cuts.
