Security and code of conduct

Sépaq wishes you an unforgettable outdoor experience and invites you to be Careful by nature!

During the winter, the trails used for fatbiking are often shared with people who are hiking or snowshoeing. As fatbiking is relatively new, other users will not necessarily be used to your presence, so be careful and make sure to respect hikers.

Prepare your outing
Make sure to properly familiarize yourself with your equipment and to have on hand the necessary equipment for a repair in case of breakage. Before leaving, check the snow conditions as well as weather forecasts so you can prepare yourself accordingly. Be aware that wearing a helmet is strongly recommended.
Don't ride on closed trails
To protect the environment and prevent injuries, it is forbidden to ride on closed trails or anywhere where a ban on riding is in force. Please note that it is also strictly forbidden to ride on unauthorized cross-country ski trails (classic or skate skiing).
Don't ride when the snow is too soft
If you cannot ride in a straight line, if your tires are sinking more than 2.5 cm (1”), or if you must get off your fatbike to climb a gentle slope, it's a sign that the snow is too soft, very wet, or soggy. At that point, it is strongly recommended that you not ride on the trails so as not to undermine their quality for future users.
Respect wildlife and the environment
In order not to damage the trail surface, avoid unnecessary skidding and keep your wheels from locking. Don't dispose of trash on or around the trails and don't frighten animals. If you have to repair your bike following a breakage, take the obsolete parts with you in order to dispose of them in the nearest garbage.
Always ride on the trail
To avoid injuries, don't intentionally ride off the trails. Avoid taking unmarked shortcuts, which could cause damage to the ecosystem.
Ride with caution and remain courteous at all times
Slow down when approaching other trail users and politely announce that you’re approaching. Be prepared for any eventuality and be ready to stop if needed.
Ride slowly on busy trails
Ride slowly when the trails are busy so as not to jeopardize the safety of other users, or your own.
Leave space for other trail users
Give way to hikers and skiers, while respecting the vulnerability principle. When you encounter them, reduce your speed accordingly.
