About us ...
For over ten years, Mario Belley, a passionate entrepreneur, has been shining a spotlight on a unique and immersive way of traveling: by bike. His goal? To offer a rich and accessible tourism experience, allowing people to discover the breathtaking landscapes of Québec and Ontario, with the iconic St. Lawrence River taking center stage.
The journey began in 2014 with a simple idea: to provide cycling enthusiasts with an itinerary along the St. Lawrence River between Montréal and Québec City, while offering baggage transportation. Over the years, the route has expanded, and the company has grown to offer a wide range of services across various itineraries in Québec and Ontario. This is how Voyager à vélo inc. was born—an enterprise dedicated to making cycling exploration easier and more enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their level.
In 2022, a new milestone marked our evolution: Le Saint-Laurent à vélo, now a non-profit organization, officially separated from Voyager à vélo inc. Its mission? To promote a 1,730 km cycling route linking Niagara Falls to Matane, showcasing seven exceptional segments and inspiring even more travelers to discover the joys of travelling by bike.
Our goal remains the same: to make cycling a gateway to adventure, discovery, and the joy of travel—accessible to all.
