General Information:

The Lanaudière region is composed of the Laurentians and the Canadian Shield, a region of ancient mountains. In the south of the region, the terrain is undulating, while the gradients are more pronounced further north (Saint-Zénon and Saint-Donat). For the most part, trails go through mixed-growth forest.

    18 clubs (2, 127 Km of trails)
