Getting to the event

By car: La Malbaie is roughly a 2 hour drive from Québec City and 4.5 hours from Montréal (map). Mont Grand-Fonds is about 15 minutes from downtown La Malbaie.

It is possible to travel by public transportation (bus, carpool, train) to get to Ultra-Trail Harricana™ of Canada. However, if you wish to visit the region, having access to a car is essential for getting around. Canada remains a vast country where tourist attractions, cities and towns are relatively far apart.

TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS 

 

From overseas/long distances, by plane:

Quebec has two international airports:

Ride sharing: 
  • Amigo Express (site in French only) lists the drivers going to the area so you can organize transportation with them to the event.
  • You can also post your transportation need on this Facebook page.

TRANSPORTATION DURING THE EVENT

Once you’ve arrived in La Malbaie, UTHC provides two free shuttle services to help participants, volunteers and spectators get around.

  1. Shuttles for athletes to race starting lines. Participants will receive the shuttle schedule with a link to the form where they must select their choice of shuttles. The buses leave from five different locations.
  2. Public shuttles running all day between La Malbaie city center, Clermont, the Chutes Fraser campground and Mont Grand-Fonds (the main site of the event). Free; no reservation required. Consult the Schedule for details.

PARKING AT MONT GRAND-FONDS

Free parking is available at Mont Grand-Fonds. Note that sleeping in the parking lot or taking up more than one parking space (e.g. with a recreational vehicle) is not permitted. Please stay in the nearby Chutes Fraser campground (just 15 minutes away).
