What you'll see

The snowmobiling adventure starts with a pick up The Tremblant Activity Centre from where you will be taken by shuttle-bus to our snowmobile centre about 12 minutes away. All prices include transport, but guests who want to drive their own car to the snowmobile centre can choose our Mont-Tremblant Guided Snowmobiling no transport option.

Upon arrival, you will start with a suiting-up session where all the equipment will be provided. Our guides then give instructions on how to drive your snowmobile and a security briefing. Then you hit the trails on your 2019 Bombardier Ace 900! Trail time will be approximately 1 hour 45 min-2 hours, depending on snow conditions. There are a wide variety of trails in the region for all levels of drivers. Some are more long and flat, while others are more narrow and wind through the hills. In order to offer the best adventure possible, your guide will choose the trails based on the conditions and the experience of the group. You will stop once or twice during the ride to take a break and get the chance to take pictures of the scenery.

When the ride is finished the shuttle will take you back to The Tremblant Activity Centre. Or, if you have chosen the no transport option, you will go back to your car.
