Nature goes beyond your imagination in the Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie provincial park. Cycling through beautiful Charlevoix in winter is already unique. Doing so on a frozen river, in the heart of a grandiose valley nestled between impressive mountains, and to admire immense icefalls along the way, is simply breathtaking.

The starting point is the Le Draveur service centre, from where departs the Navette des glaces, an all-terrain motorhome transporting adventurers and winter bikers to more remote recreational areas. Making the round trip twice a day to the Équerre and Pointe-aux-Inukshuk sectors, it enables cyclists to ride the linear route of the Vallée des Glaces in the opposite direction. From the Équerre sector (the furthest out), the 7-kilometre, gently sloping circuit is accessible to all levels. In a way, this is what makes this destination beautiful—so impressive and magical in terms of the sensations and landscapes it offers yet accessible to people of all fitness levels. For sports enthusiasts, equipment rental is available on site.
