designated roadway sections with little to no
elevation gain. Identified in green.

The experience is intended for performance
cyclists and allows the cyclist to undertake the
circuit’s most challenging sections. One can
expect paved shoulders and hills with risk of
high changes in elevation. Identified in red.
MARINE
SHUTTLES
Two majestic waterways characterize the Saguenay–Lac-SaintJean region: the Saguenay Fjord,
the only inhabited fjord in North
America, and Lac Saint-Jean, a
true inland sea. In our region,
water and cycling go hand in
hand. Several marine shuttle
options are conveniently available
along the length of the course.

WELCOME TO SAGUENAY–LAC-SAINT-JEAN
A territory three times the size of Belgium, the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean
region is renowned for being an exceptionally rich and diverse cycling
destination. Fabulous experiences for cyclists of all levels and expectations
guaranteed.
A unique North-American destination with its colossal fjord, vast inland sea,
nature that’s larger than life and an urban pulse that binds them together,
Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean offers radically different natural environments,
wide open spaces and human environments all within the same region.
Surrounding Lac Saint-Jean’s vast agricultural plain, with its breathtaking
landscapes and horizons that ignite with the setting sun… From the shore to
the sky where the mountainous cliffs tower high above the Saguenay Fjord…
Countryside hamlets along the route to the City of Saguenay and other
villages which remain to be explored, often rustic, always accessible…
Travelling cyclists will find the perfect challenge to tickle their fancy, no
matter if it’s for athletic trials, a vacation balanced with adventure and
relaxation, stimulating natural environments or family adventures for the
virtual photo album and fond memories that will last a lifetime.
This practical guide is a reliable and comprehensive tool that will lead you
through the different cycling circuits that are yours to discover in Saguenay–
Lac-Saint-Jean. You can find the experience

THE LAKE, ITS BEACHES AND BLUEBERRIES
FUN that stretches for kilometers on end!
The Véloroute des Bleuets circuit encircles Lac Saint-Jean for
256 kilometers, crosses 15 municipalities and the Montagnais community of Mashteuiatsh. The Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon and
picturesque municipalities located along the country roads can be
reached from this loop. It connects many points of interest, overlooking Lac Saint-Jean’s tributary rivers, besides a connection to
Saguenay through an associate network. The circuit offers multiple
occasions for dining, camping, hotel and bed & breakfast stays.
Lac Saint-Jean is so immense that the opposite banks are only
visible when the skies are exceptionally clear. With a surface area
of over 1000 sq km and besides being the largest inhabited lake in
the province, it’s classified among the 10 largest lakes in Québec.
Lac Saint-Jean offers a multitude of monumental landscapes due
to the banks that stretch along 210 km. A genuine seaside resort,
Lac Saint-Jean invites you to swim in its warm waters and relax in
the sun on the luxurious sandy beaches.

A WORD
FROM THE MEDIA AMBASSADOR
This uniqueness is also derived from
the Ambassadors’ presence, the
volunteers that interweave within the
network, infusing a human touch and
providing replies to our questions.
Their pride and passion shine
through every interaction. A perfect
example of the perfect model to
follow!
Yvan Martineau
Television announcer and host, TVA
Radio announcer, Cogeco 98.5 FM
And proud Ambassador of the
Véloroute des Bleuets
Hello everyone!
I am one of the Véloroute des
Bleuets’ biggest fans, which has certainly helped in why I was appointed
the National Ambassador. There’s
been so many different broadcasts,
columns, reports and hosted conf­er­
ences that I’ve lost count!
I’ve travelled to many different
regions and I can contest to the
genuine uniqueness of the diverse
landscapes, the raw beauty found
in the wild, the pleasure of travelling
between the villages and cities, the
magnificent vistas overlooking Lac
Saint-Jean, the cascading rivers,
the cycling-boat combo with
Le Maligneau, and the list goes on.
14
My joy increases with the knowledge
that I’m not alone in my opinions.
No matter where my travels lead,
I always hear someone say how
much they love the Véloroute des
Bleuets. This itinerary’s reputation is
renowned across Lac Saint-Jean.
I like that the circuit is completely
paved (except in Parc national de
la Pointe-Taillon, where moose are
prominently present early in the
morning) besides being accessible
to other users; Sometimes I enjoy
cruising along the cycling trail, other
times along the designated roadway
and paved shoulders… Variety is the
key! Scientists confirm that “90 to
95% of what human beings perceive
is through sight.” In Lac Saint-Jean,
on two wheels, the view is deman­
ding: diversity propagates curiosity
from all angles.
I also appreciate the rest areas with
picnic tables that allow for breathing
in the fresh air, relaxing and slowing
down the pace.
The Véloroute des Bleuets is an
adventure that’s not to be missed!
MAISONS DU VÉLO
[ V É LO R O U TE D E S B L E U E TS ]
There are four Maisons du Vélo
(cycling visitor information centres)
to welcome you to the region and
provide more information on the
available services. They’re open every

THE FJORD, ITS CAPES AND TIDES

Cycling fun for everyone!

DISCOVER THE VÉLOROUTE
DU FJORD DU SAGUENAY
The Kingdom of Saguenay invites
you to discover sections south of
Lac Saint-Jean to the Estuary of
the St. Lawrence, criss-crossing the
Saguenay Fjord along both shores.
The Vélo-route du Fjord du
Saguenay stretches between hamlets and villages, crosses through
the City of Saguenay’s urban areas,
besides the phenomenally pictures­
que rural sectors that connect the
Véloroute des Bleuets with the
mountainous landscapes of the
Saguenay Fjord and the Laurentian
mountain range.
The Saguenay triathlete, Pierre
Lavoie, who revealed the fjord
circuit’s incredible potential for
athletes in search of a truly unique
experience. Loved and revered
across Québec, thousands of youth
and adults who adopt his examples
and advocate health through physical activity, Pierre Lavoie still travels
this circuit as part of his training.
It’s his personal playground! He devoted himself to the recognition of
this exceptional cycling destination,
managing to have paved shoulders
landscaped along most of the trail.
forest at its best. It then presents
a challenging elevation gain for
cyclists who love mountains similar
to those in Europe. The tour around
the fjord compares to the ascent
of Mont Blanc! It’s without a doubt,
throughout Québec, the course
that most closely resembles European preferences in terms of both
difficulty and length. In addition,
it also connects the neighbouring
regions,” stated Pierre Lavoie to the
sum of his convictions.
The Véloroute du Fjord du
Saguenay also allows for a choice
of desired sections by using the
maritime shuttle, servicing the
communities of Tadoussac to La
Baie and transcending visitors to
the core of this dazzling natural
wonder, the Saguenay Fjord. The
sections connecting the fjord and
the lake have portions that are
accessible to everyone: recreational
cyclists (family), touring cyclists
and performance cyclists. Your
perfect adventure is waiting to be
explored!
“This circuit makes it possible
to admire the 14 surroun­
ding villages that are
spectacular and ripe with
authenticity, besides an exclusive glimpse of the boreal
