Fat biking in Quebec: winter on two wheels has never been this fun

Our suggestions

Want to ride a bike in winter? With its oversized tires, the fat bike rolls over packed snow and turns mountain-bike trails into a winter playground. Most centres rent bikes, including small sizes, and offer easy trails for a first family outing. This guide brings together 75 fat-biking centres in Quebec, each with the venue’s listing, address and trail conditions.

Good to know: rentals often need to be booked online on weekends, and several centres require a minimum age or height for children. Dress as you would for cross-country skiing, you warm up fast when pedalling.
