The Gaspésie is one of the regions of Québec that receive the most snow; a pure paradise for snowmobilers. About 2,000 kilometres of trails circle the region and invite you to enjoy the wonders of winter in a setting of glittering ice and snow-covered mountains. Twenty or so clubs offer many services, such as trail pass purchasing and maintenance of the trails and stopover facilities. Hotels, convenience stores and garages are also located along the entire route. Live a group experience and take advantage of the warm Gaspesian welcome.
 Consult or order the snowmobile trails map 2007-2008.
