The snow has begun to show its face, so all the excitement surrounding your favorite activity, snowmobiling, is awakening in you. That’s when we, the Centre-du-Québec tourist region, go into seduction mode to invite you to plan your snowmobile outings for the winter.
Why choose the Centre-du-Québec as a snowmobile destination? Because the region offers a real playground for snowmobile enthusiasts in addition to offering an unparalleled welcome. The Centricois have a real desire to welcome you in their home, and you can feel it.
The region has a lot to offer to snowmobile enthusiasts: it is more than 1200 kilometers of trails, continuously well maintained by our different snowmobile clubs, which criss-cross the entire Centre-du-Québec. It is thanks to the volunteers of our 9 snowmobile clubs, who work very hard as soon as there is enough snow, that we can boast of offering our visitors trails of great quality.
What best describes the characteristics of the region’s snowmobile trails is that it is unlikely that you will ever have to retrace your steps. In fact, in the Centre-du-Québec, most of the trails form superb loops that allow you to return to your starting points without having to go over the same landscape more than once. That’s why we like to say that our snowmobile offer is a bit like a daisy! Yes, a daisy! The idea behind this charming flower is that it is possible to sleep in the same place throughout a snowmobile trip, without having to travel on the same trails during the entire stay. The accommodation you choose will be the heart of your daisy, and each of our trails is a petal of sorts. So you have plenty of choices and more than one petal to explore! This is what our region is known for! Having the possibility of not lugging all our equipment, suitcases and all the rest from hotel to hotel is very practical, isn’t it? You will also be able to leave your vehicle and trailer in complete safety, as most of our accommodations offer very secure parking, whether it be with cameras, enclosures or even heated garages. What could be better than leaving on a snowmobile that is not completely frozen? OK, I admit it, maybe it’s my little “girl” side talking!
The topography of the region means that you will find trails located in the mountains, in the magnificent Appalachian foothills where you will cross maple groves and coniferous forests, but also trails in the St. Lawrence plains, composed of woods and fields. Of note, trail #5, located along the St. Lawrence River, brings a superior quality thanks to the microclimate that the river allows. The Appalachian Mountains, on the other hand, ensure that there is almost always snow and that the trails are accessible all winter long.
To help you plan and determine the trails you want to ride, we suggest you visit the website at www.tourismecentreduquebec.com/motoneige where you will find 6 proposed routes to ride your snowmobile this winter. All along these routes, you will find places to stop for a break, a good meal, to sleep, but most of all, places where you will be able to meet your peers, snowmobile enthusiasts.
To please your significant other, it is essential to plan a nice weekend in the region. Many trails are located near the lodging and some even pass directly in the parking lot of the hotel. What more could you ask for?
Our accommodations have all the amenities to welcome you: a cozy bed, a good table, a safe place for your vehicle, activities to be pampered and especially, a warm atmosphere!
