Shannahan, c’est le côté sauvage de la vallée, où les sentiers s’intègrent à une nature spectaculaire. Les sentiers ne sont jamais loin des chutes, cascades et rivières qui ont forgé le magnifique paysage. Le secteur des pistes « sucrées » (Beurre d’érable, Sucre d’orge, Tartosuc, etc.) est l’endroit idéal pour donner ses premiers coups de pédale en vélo de montagne, dans des pistes faciles et fluides, traversant une érablière ou menant à des chutes spectaculaires.

Des sentiers épiques de renommée mondiale font aussi la joie des experts, tant pour leur tracé que pour leurs points de vue imprenables.

Shannahan is the wild side of the Valley, where the trails blend into the spectacular natural surroundings. The trails are never far from the waterfalls, cascades and rivers that have forged the beautiful landscape. The “sweet” trails (Beurre d’érable, Sucre d’orge, Tartosuc, etc.) are the perfect spot to learn mountain biking, with easy, flowy trails through a maple grove or leading to spectacular waterfalls.

Epic and world-renowned trails are also a delight for experts, both for their layout and for the views they offer.

Lots of wash out and loose rocks, especially the climb. Been ridding the trail every other year since 2019. There are many more hike a bike sections than previous years.
