A great spread of trails to meet the average rider standard. |

Plenty for the advanced riders here. |
|

Family-friendly: |
There are other activities but not as many as previous locations. |

A pizza restaurant at the base, but was not always open. Otherwise requires a drive. |

Not really (except during WC weekend!). Head to QC. |

More than just a World Cup. Plus worth a tourist trip in to Quebec City Old Town. |
