Explore the Region by Bike

The Mont-Ham Loops

Hop on your gravel bikes! This 49 km loop in the heart of the Des Sources region will certainly appease your thirst for backcountry dirt roads and isolated landscapes. On the horizon Mount Ham acts as a beacon to keep you on track. Although most of the route offers a pleasant ride, you’ll need to tackle a few climbs that will have you truly break a sweat! Less experienced gravel cyclists can adapt their course by completing a shorter loop. At the end of this first cycling day, you’ll have enjoyed plenty of village stops and attractions on the way.

Enjoy a Hearty Lunch Before Heading Back Out

Café du Flâneur

Saint-Camille is where the loop starts out and where you’ll discover a café that is as popular for its contribution to the community as for its delicious homemade dishes. From their potato Rösti options to their unmissable pizzas, here you’ll find everything you need to restore your energy before tackling the next few kilometres to reach your next stop. Open only on weekends during the summer (check their hours before you head out), the café also houses the performance venue Le P’tit Bonheur de Saint-Camille known for its rich and eclectic program.

Immerse Yourself in the Abenaki Culture

Parc Régional du Mont Ham

Although it’s possible to reach the top of this mountain very quickly (the Intrépide trail covers less than 2 km), most likely you’ll have neither the energy nor the time for even the shortest hike. However, you could take a moment to stop by the site’s Welcome Centre and browse inside this cultural space, Espace Abénakis, and the Sentier des légendes. The first holds several artisanal items and artifacts; the second guides your steps as you follow an oral traditional set around a story describing the Legend of the Invisible People. A fine way to keep your mind active while your muscles enjoy a relaxing pause!

Cool Your Calve Muscles

Camping de la rivière Nicolet

Just before ending your bike ride, how about taking one last break and enjoying a dip in the water? After cycling 13 km since your last stop at the foot of Mont-Ham, the invitation to relax by the river at this campground will seem particularly appealing. Purchase a day pass and enjoy the swimming pool or the river, where a fun tube slide awaits (open until 9:00 p.m.). Plus, the site is certified Bienvenue cyclistes!
