AUTOBUS LE PETIT TRAIN DU NORD

At your service since 1997, Autobus Le Petit Train du Nord is just a phone call away to help you plan your trip.

You don’t want to carry luggage with you, you want to ride effortlessly?

Les Autobus Le Petit Train du Nord offers luggage transport. From accommodation to accommodation, your luggage will be waiting for you at the end of your day. So you’ll be fresh and ready for the aperitif!

Even the independent cyclist who does not book the shuttle can book the luggage transport service.
This way, you only have to carry a light heart!

• At no time will you be limited to a certain amount of luggage, but an additional fee will be charged above 15 kg (30 lbs).
• Luggage will be dropped off and picked up at the reception of each accommodation you have booked.
• Discounted shuttle rate for children under 12 years old.

Don’t have a bike or yours has miles on it?

No problem, you can rent a bike for an adult, a child or even an electric bike at Autobus Le Petit Train du Nord. You can also rent a trailer so that the little ones can be transported like princes and princesses or reserve a “giraffe” type extension so that they can pedal to their heart’s content.

It is also possible to rent trailers to go on your own with your luggage.

TRAVEL OPTION

You want to book in an auberge?

Consult our interactive map, with the tab “gite and auberge”, to choose your accommodation along the route. You can also contact the team at the Autobus le Petit Train du Nord reception desk or ask Tourisme Laurentides for advice.

You want to reserve at a campground?

That’s possible too! Several campsites are located along the P’tit Train and your luggage can be delivered there. Consult our map, with the “camping” tab, to find your campsite and make a reservation.

Several B&Bs, inns and campsites are certified “Bienvenue cyclistes”, a standard of the Route Verte.

Everything to make you feel welcome! 🙂

You ask yourself, “Where do I leave my car?

Most of the shuttle departures are from Place de la Gare de Saint-Jérôme (km 0). You can leave your car there in a parking lot equipped with surveillance cameras for the duration of your stay.

Consult our interactive map in “service” then in “parking”, click on the icon for more details. Several entry points are possible.

You can also come to Saint-Jérôme by commuter train from Laval or Montréal with your bicycle. The train station is located right next to the Autobus du Petit Train du Nord reception car.

HOW TO PREPARE YOURSELF

What to do in case of a mechanical problem?

It is important to have your bike tuned up before the start of the season. On the route, you will find mechanical repair stations (click on service and mechanical assistance in the map).

There are patrollers along the trail who can help with basic mechanics. However, we strongly recommend that you carry a first-aid kit with you at all times.

Here are the essential items that should be in it:

• Spare inner tube (at least 1)
• Tyre lever
• Mini bike pump
• Multi-tools (with Allen keys, screwdrivers, etc.)
• Patches (to repair holes in tubes)

Tips for a smooth trip

• Always carry water with you. You should drink at least 1L of water per hour. Hydration is essential for our bodies to function properly. You will find water points and sanitary blocks along your route.
• Have a well-charged phone in case of emergency, but also to immortalize your beautiful moments of the trip.
• Have the right clothes for the weather.
• Know your limits and take breaks when you feel the need.
• Have a bar or a piece of fruit in case of lack of energy.
• A small first-aid kit for minor injuries.
