With 1,800 km of impeccable trails, the Bas-Saint-Laurent is a snowmobiler’s paradise. Get ready with our tips for a safe and memorable ride!

To enjoy snowmobiling safely, you need to be prepared, know the weather, trail conditions, relay opening hours, your itinerary…

The Bas-Saint-Laurent region is made up of 13 snowmobile clubs, who maintain the region’s trails with care and passion. These volunteers prepare, repair, mark and sign all 1,800 km of trails, and groom their territory carefully every day of the season to offer us exceptional conditions. The region enjoys an enviable reputation, not only for its snow conditions, but also for the constant work of these volunteers. So, we say “Thank you” for your devotion.

Many of them welcome you to a relay to warm up, socialize or have a bite to eat.
