Presented by
Action Memphrémagog Ouest

Discover the Circuit de l’Abbaye, a long-distance, independent-style walking tour starting and ending at the emblematic abbey of Saint-Benoît-du-Lac. The 149-km Circuit provides a healing, introspective journey through the municipalities of Austin, Orford Township, Eastman, Saint-Étienne-de-Bolton, Bolton-Est and Potton Township.

EXPLORE

The interactive BaladoDiscovery guide highlights the must-see points of interest along the Circuit de l’Abbaye and gives access to dynamic audio clips that share a few pages of history about the different sites along your route.

ALONG THE WAY

The Circuit generally takes some 8 to 10 days to complete. The guide offers an itinerary and displays your real-time position on the map to help you find your way. 

Plan short breaks to discover the many points of interest and enjoy the insights that we provide!

Walkers are responsible for planning accommodations in line with the number of kilometres they wish to walk on a daily basis.

OPTIMIZED EXPERIENCE

Using the mobile app BaladoDiscovery is recommended, rather than the website. All content can be accessed offline at anytime through the app’s Preload option.
