Create and find the best bike routes through Canada, the world’s second largest country, thanks to the bike route planner. The country isn’t stingy with scenic highlights. Mountains reaching to the sky, glimmering glaciers, spectral rain forests and remote beaches extend over six different time zones. In Canada, train tracks become paths, some of the formerly most important supply routes through Canada was decommissioned and converted into natural paths like the famous Canada Trail. Canada’s remote North and huge forests are the home of numerous wild animals such as bears, wolves, beavers and mountain lions. To protect this diversity, there are more than 40 national parks in Canada that can also be explored by bike, however, visitors should keep to the marked paths!
