A well-rounded trip in every aspect imaginable, the Gourmet Tour blends exceptional riding conditions with elevated dining experiences for a one-of-a-kind snowmobile adventure. The highlights of this trip are riding on expertly groomed trails through forests, fields and over stunning mountain ranges, matched by unforgettable evenings that unfold with unique Quebecois specialties and flavors. Whether navigating Quebec’s vast trail system or tasting a local dish, each new course is a step forward in discovering the beauty of snowmobiling in Quebec.
Over the course of our travels in Quebec, we have discovered a number of memorable inns off the beaten path that have quickly become our trusted and favorite destinations. We believe that an adventure experience is achieved only when one ventures away from standard routes and offerings. Most of the auberges we visit are chef owned, where they prepare creative and inspired cuisine with a Quebecois’ twist. Some main course choices include duck, salmon, wild boar, moose, beef, chicken and pork. With a range of classic fare to more inventive recipes, there is something for everyone. The manner in which the offerings are prepared and presented is nothing short of exquisite. Cozy up by the fireplace and relax amongst new friends, and good laughs and great conversation are sure to be on the menu.
A common thread among our guests is their desire to experience an exceptional, unique, and well-planned winter adventure, and the 5 Day Gourmet surely delivers. For riders with moderate to veteran experience, the 5 Day Gourmet surveys the Saguenay region, starting from the coast of the St. Lawrence River and cruising inward towards Lac St. Jean and back. This trip is a beautiful snapshot of what Quebec has to offer, with incredible trails at your feet. With the fine details mastered by us, the Gourmet Tour is a complete package including truly special lodging and dining, riding on an impressive twenty-thousand mile trail system, and the option of renting a current year snowmobile.
Please be prepared to be outside for the full day, with stops planned for lunch, gas, and photos.
