Nicolet-Yamaska is a choice destination for cycling enthusiasts. More than 400 kilometres of shared road cycling routes have been approved by the region’s cycling club. Pedal to your heart’s content along our paths, which are 95% flat and run alongside our magnificent rivers and through incredible landscapes. Several kilometres make up a portion of Circuit 4 of Quebec’s Route Verte.
