Vallée Bras-du-Nord

Wild boreal singletrack along a river canyon.

A co-op runs more than 100 km of trail through boreal forest, river terraces and glacial hills, from the beginner-friendly Sucrés to the legendary Neilson loops and the jump-filled Gravité sector. Yurts, refuges and riverside camping let you stay out in the valley, and Saint-Raymond’s own 30 km network ends at a brewpub. It suits riders of every level looking for a multi-day trip with a backcountry feel.
