Make the good choice with your all inclusive snowmobile tour

Back from our first snowmobile trips in Canada, our customers are sometimes surprised by the fact that they crossed many fir trees and missed perspective, others lacked urbanized landscape and contact with the warm population of Quebec, etc … It is important to state what you want to see as a landscape before you sign up for an all inclusive snowmobile package in Canada.

It is possible during a snowmobile trip in Quebec, to have to cross villages and sometimes dense cities with frequent crossings of roads, railways and transit in industrialized zones. This is also Quebec, if you do not want to be confronted with this reality of Canada, say so and we will suggest routes avoiding these spaces.

In the south of the 50th parallel (on average) we are in Quebec in the boreal forest, with a few rare exceptions. This means that the snowmobile trails traveled through dense forests, deforested by machines, fires, lakes and rivers. This is where we find 95% of the snowmobile trails maintained and almost all snowmobile tours.

To find subalpines-like areas with trees between 4 and 20 meters apart and grasslands, you have to go to the Taiga in the Nordic Zone beyond the 50th parallel.

The Taiga

This region where the “Middle North” begins is already very far from conventional circuits where 99% of snowmobile tours circulate.

Finally, to cross virgin landscapes as far as the eye can see, a place of migration for caribou, musk oxen and strewn with erratic rocks illuminated by aurora borealis you have to go to the Tundra situated on the average north of the 53rd parallel. This is where the true Great North begins, and there are never any tourists, only a few travelers and some adventurers that we have guided in these hostile but wonderful regions.

What spirit of snowmobile vacation? Relaxation, stroll, human adventure above all, surpassing oneself …?
What level of difficulty? With or without contingencies? Am I a tourist, a traveler or a snowmobile adventurer?

The fact of wanting to ride a snowmobile necessarily involves some personal involvement and a certain degree of exit from one’s comfort zone.

If it is important for you to benefit from a complete service, to know exactly the time of arrival at the stages, and that you do not wish to assume any unforeseen or mishaps in your trip, or that you wish to be able to leave the activity and regain comfort in short time (less than 2 hours), limit your activities to areas of difficulty I and II and stipulate it to your snowmobile travel agency.

If you are able to experience a moderate snowmobile adventure and accept mechanical, meteorological, unforeseen events, live to the rythm of interactions with animal or human encounters along the route. If you are planning to go out of your comfort zone to visit Canadian nature in a deeper and more authentic way, you are a traveler, you can access areas of difficulty II to III during your snowmobile vacation in Canada.

Finally, if you want to be 100% involved in a human adventure, and the unexpected, setbacks, encounters, human challenges and galleys are the definition of your ideal adventure, if the output of your comfort zone is a passage to success of your project, you are an adventurer, snowmobile expedition team member able to access zone IV and remote northern regions:

However, there are ways for tourists to keep their comfort and the relative flexibility of their schedule and their involvement in an all inclusive snowmobile package in Canada. In that case, we build the entire project starting from a blank sheet and modify the planning until it is exactly as dreamed. In fact, we sometimes have air and ski aircraft and / or helicopter services and additional guides to provide a VIP service at any time, but at a cost.
