Exploring the P’tit Train du Nord bike path in the fall

Bucolic landscapes where you can get away from it all

With its gentle elevation changes, the P’tit Train du Nord offers a leisurely way to savour the joys of autumn. Let yourself be amazed by the beautiful colours of the Laurentian nature, from the reds, oranges and yellows of the leaves along the trail to the blues and greens of the shimmering lakes and majestic mountains. 

Take a break at one of the many food stops in the picturesque villages along the way, whether you just want to grab coffee or sit down for a gourmet meal. 

The linear park is a great destination to be active in nature for a few hours, but also to get away for few days, with many accommodations available along the way.

The Discovery Passport: a new way to explore

For a different experience, turn your outing into a fun quest with the Discovery Passport. More than just a travel guide, this illustrated notebook invites you to discover unique attractions, but also to chat with local artisans and shopkeepers. 

You can get your passport stamped at every stop, a little retro touch reminiscent of the route’s fascinating railway history. With train stations, history sites and art galleries along the way, get ready to hear captivating stories and have interesting encounters – and to fill your passport with stamps and great memories.

A mobile app to guide you and to revisit history 

Both fun and practical, the brand-new P’tit Train du Nord app is a must. Its interactive map will show you the location of all the essential services you could need along the way, from accommodations to public washrooms, in addition to the main attractions in each area. 

To spark your curiosity, have a look at the Histoire (history) section and discover the rich heritage of the northern train stations and the wonderful sites to visit on the route. Before you set out or while on the trail, these historical pop-ups will take you back in time.
