Outdoor Activities

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.

Gaspésie is part of a vast destination known as Québec maritime, which also includes the regions of Bas-Saint-Laurent and Côte-Nord (Manicouagan and Duplessis). Together, these regions offer 6000 kilometres (3700 miles) of marked and groomed snowmobile trails, all linked to each other, which makes for great snowmobile expeditions! You can explore both shores of the St. Lawrence via the ferry that links Matane (Gaspésie) to Baie-Comeau and Godbout (Manicouagan). On the north shore, don’t miss the opportunity to cross the Manicouagan River on the longest snowmobile bridge in North America and explore the unique landscapes along the White Trail. Discover the snowmobiling trails of Québec maritime.
