A stunning region with a vast abundance of interconnected trails, Lac Saint-Jean captures the spirit of snowmobiling within the heart of Quebec. Starting out of St. Raymond, this tour launches north and completes a large circuit around the lake and back down, supported by “Mom and Pop” lodging along the way. After over 40 years of experience riding in this area, we have come to know and love this region, returning year after year to the beautiful trails and our favorite inns that make a successful day of snowmobiling even better. Whether it is your first time in Quebec or you are a seasoned rider in this area, this is always a beautiful region and a great trip to embark on.
With snowmobiling, there’s value in variety. Changes in terrain, surroundings, and scenery make for a dynamic trip that keeps you engaged and excited, and the trails throughout Lac Saint-Jean speak to this perfectly. Broad open landscapes transition into sweeping wooded trails, allowing you to experience diverse trail types all in one day. Picturesque white birch trees are a signature characteristic of the region, lining trails with sensational views that feel both remote yet familiar.
Despite changes in the atmosphere around you, one thing always remains the same: hard snow packed trails. In these superb conditions, you can truly experience the capability of your snowmobile and appreciate the thrill of these great machines. The format of this tour is designed to appeal to people who enjoy riding their sled at speeds ranging from 40-55 mph on a trail system that changes frequently.
Another unique feature of this tour is our commitment to supporting local authentic auberges run by the most hospitable people. These lodges and businesses have been built from the ground up directly for snowmobilers during the winter and fishermen/workers during the summer, making it their ultimate goal to leave you with a big smile and an unforgettable experience. These small, quaint destinations have perfected their craft and take great pride in entertaining their guests with a delicious meal.
