La Forêt de l'Abbaye Val Notre-Dame: a new network in Lanaudière
Located in Saint-Jean-de-Matha, the Forêt de l'Abbaye Val Notre-Dame is home to a network of cross-country mountain bike trails designed by the Tsuga development team. Thanks to the cliffs of the Montagne Coupée, the diversity of soils and the natural relief of the area, the site offers ideal conditions for the development of a varied and stimulating trail network.
