The only place I’m Charlevoix to rent bikes. They have all kinds of bikes at a reasonable price. I took the basic bicycle and it was In good condition. It’s 24km to bike the whole island so 1h15 with no stops. It took me 1h30 with a few picture stops. There are some hills to go up so if you can’t manage, probably better to take a hybrid bicycle. There is a bike path along the whole island so it’s an ideal place to cycle. Also stunning views all around. Open from 9am-5pm. They provide good helmets also for all the users.
I had a lot of fun
Tons of fun, we ordered an 8 person quadricycle (6 peddlers, two riders in the front basket).
My 8 year old couldn't reach the pedals, but would sometimes stand and pedal, particularly on the hills. We went the entire way around the island including a few stops for ice cream, bathrooms, water, etc. in about 2.5 hours. It was a bunch of work, but the whole family enjoyed it. We did find that it was easier to have a couple people get out and push on the really big hills.
We went clockwise around the island, and I think that was a good direction. The trip ended with a long downhill, which everyone really enjoyed, and that would be a long uphill if we had gone the other way, I'm not sure if we would have made it if we had to start with that hill.
Excellent service, staff was extremely accommodating as it took our group a while to decide.
We rented a bicycle for 8! Friendly staff, many options. Had a nice ride for one hour.
