The prestigious National Geographic travel guide, Journeys of a Lifetime: 500 of the World’s Greatest Trips, cataloguing the most fabulous trips of our dreams, ranks the Route verte first in the top 10 bike routes on the planet, chosen for their beauty, length and excitement.
Located in North America, the Route verte criss-crosses Québec from north to south and east to west, lining up more than 4,000 kilometres of biking explorations! This immense bike trail is easy to follow, whether to escape for a few days or for a long trip. From the infinite expanses along the shores of the St. Lawrence River to the spectacular panoramas of the Laurentian Mountains, the Route verte is renowned for its range and scope and the diversity of its scenery.
The best bicycle route in the world
The Route verte has won two prestigious awards: the Prix Ulysse, one of the Grands Prix du tourisme québécois for the Montreal region, and first place, among the ten best bicycle routes in the world, selected by the National Geographic Society.
The Route verte joins the ranks of the world's top bikeroutes!
