Services
Route Planning
Based on an analysis of available data (road and cycling networks, tourist attractions, amenities, etc.) and drawing on our experience and your team’s local knowledge, we will help you set up up routes that are pleasant to ride on and expose users to a variety of landscapes.
These routes can revolve around themes such as food, sports, family, or others. They can last one or several days and can include lodging and other cyclist-friendly amenities, such as those available through our Bienvenue cyclistes ! program.
Route Validation
Vélo Québec’s experts can assess you planned routes using available information and by collecting additional qualitative and quantitative data through field visits. Our assessments can also take into account input from government officials and local tourism authorities.
