Take Chemin du Village toward Tremblant Resort and turn right onto Chemin Séguin. After about five minutes, you will see the entrance to Truite on your left, just before Circuit Mont-Tremblant. This beautiful, relatively flat and flowing trail is perfect for warming up—and you will need it before tackling Cachée’s sustained, winding climb. On the other side, a flowing descent takes you through remarkable scenery. Keep left to take P’tite Cachée, then turn right onto the multi-use trail to connect with Boneyard. Once back on the multi-use trail, turn left and ride a short section of Lynx. Do not cross over to the northern section of the trail. Continue to the Jackrabbit Bridge, which crosses the Diable River. Turn right onto Grand Pic, followed by Villa Bellevue and a short section of Geai Bleu to reach Gorge. A few technical climbs featuring roots and rocks lead to the trail’s famous descent, one of the signature rides in the network. This one-way, expert-level descent features rock slabs, roots, jumps and berms.
Ride cautiously, especially on your first descent, so you can familiarize yourself with the obstacles.
Cross the Jackrabbit Bridge again for the return trip. Turn left onto Lynx, then continue onto P’tite Cachée instead of taking the bike path. After crossing the bridge over the Cachée River, take Sciotte and Truite to return to your starting point.
Alternative options
- To shorten your loop, skip Cachée and continue along the multi-use trail to Lynx.
- From Tremblant Resort, take the Villageoise de Mont-Tremblant, connect with Chouette Nord and Lynx, then reach Grand Pic via the Jackrabbit Bridge.
- To extend your ride, continue along Villa Bellevue to the second entrance of Geai Bleu. You can also turn right onto Les Pins and explore the Deer Mountain sector, where several climbing and descending options are available. From there, either retrace your route along Les Pins or complete the loop via Diable, then return to Villa Bellevue through Labyrinthe.
