The St. Lawrence Tour is 640 km (395 mi.) long and will take you through the regions of Bas-Saint-Laurent, Gaspésie and Côte-Nord. What makes this ride so unique is the fact that it includes a ferry crossing of the St. Lawrence with your snowmobile. Yes, you read that right! And everyone who boards the Matane–Baie-Comeau/Godbout ferry with their snowmobile is enchanted by the experience!

Providing a pause between rides, the 2.5-hour crossing will give you time to enjoy a snack and chat with other passengers in the ferry lounges. You’ll undoubtedly meet other snowmobilers and can trade stories about your adventures or share some of our regions’ well-kept secrets.

Obviously, magnificent trails await you in each of our regions, giving you the opportunity to admire stunning sea and mountain scenery, particularly in the Tadoussac and Saguenay Fjord area. You’ll also cross several snowmobile bridges, including the one in Portneuf-sur-Mer (which you should plan to cross at night when it’s lit up) as well as the one across the Manicouagan River, near Baie-Comeau, which is North America's highest snowmobile bridge at 213 metres (700 feet) long.

The St. Lawrence Tour is a one-way ride, but during my last visit to the Toronto Snowmobile Show, several people told me that it’s possible to turn it into a loop ride from Québec City. The ride would then include the regions of Québec, Chaudière-Appalaches and Charlevoix. And if you want more time in Gaspésie, be sure to extend your trip by a day or two and explore the trails through the Chic-Choc Mountains.
