A true paradise for snowmobilers, Eastern Québec receives large amounts of snow every winter and offers top-quality trails that provide access to unique landscapes. Why not take part in a guided snowmobile excursion to make the most of our regions in the winter? Discover welcoming  businesses that offer very interesting snowmobile packages…

Magnificent views of the Saguenay Fjord

Other exciting excursions await you in Côte-Nord! The Ferme 5 Étoile holiday resort, in Sacré-Coeur, offers guided tours through wide-open snow-covered areas. You’ll discover stunning views of the Saguenay Fjord, especially from Cap Sainte-Marguerite (which offers the best view, according to many), but also of the St. Lawrence and Tadoussac Bay. The resort can customize their packages to your needs and offers outings lasting from half a day to 5 days. Beginners can also rent a snowmobile and learn how to ride it. You’re sure to fall under the spell of this site, which offers accommodations, meals and a host of winter activities for the whole family!

• How to get there by snowmobile: Take TQ93 from TQ3.

Wild, snowy mountains

The Groulx Mountains (also known as the Uapishka Mountains, which means “white mountains” in the Innu language) are a huge natural playground for backcountry snowmobile enthusiasts. However, to protect the unique and fragile environment of these magnificent mountains in Côte-Nord, strict rules and regulations govern this activity. (For example, motorized traffic in the summit area is prohibited.) Consequently, you must be accompanied by a guide duly authorized by the Québec Ministry of the Environment and the Fight Against Climate Change when snowmobiling in these mountains. To experience this powder paradise hassle-free, take advantage of the package offered by Station Uapishka! With a maximum of 6 people per group and a limited number of snowmobilers in the area, you’ll feel like you’re on your own in this vast and remote territory!

• How to get there by snowmobile: There are no snowmobile trails to Station Uapishka. We therefore recommend that you drive there with a trailer from Baie-Comeau via Route 389 (335 km / 210 mi.).
