Guided Snowmobile Tours near Mont-Tremblant: 2-Hour Trail Ride

Control your own snowmobile through boreal forest trails

A 2-hour guided snowmobile tour near Mont-Tremblant where you drive a Bombardier Ace 900 on well-maintained national trails through the Upper Laurentians. The guide chooses routes based on snow conditions and your group's skill level, stops once or twice for photos, and shuttle transport from the Tremblant Activity Centre is included. Drivers must be 21 with a valid license; passengers need to be at least 5 years old and 48 inches tall.

The Experience

The day starts with a 12-minute shuttle ride from the Tremblant Activity Centre to the snowmobile base. Once there, you'll suit up in all the gear—helmet, boots, and insulated layers—before the guide walks through how to operate the machine and covers safety. Then you're on the trails for roughly 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on conditions. The guide picks the route based on what the group can handle: some trails are long and flat, others narrow and winding through the hills. You're not following a fixed itinerary; the guide reads the snow and the riders and adjusts.

You'll stop once or twice during the ride—five to ten minutes each—to catch your breath, take pictures, and switch who's driving and who's riding as a passenger if you want to. The Bombardier Ace 900 is built for this: comfortable enough for a couple of hours but responsive enough that you feel what you're doing. Trail permit, fuel, and all equipment are included; you just need to bring a balaclava mask (available to buy on-site if you don't have one). The shuttle takes you back to the Activity Centre when the ride is done.

An evening tour option runs the same route but lets you see the boreal forest in low light—a different feel for the same trails. Both tours work for riders of any fitness level, though the pace depends on the group's comfort. Arrive 45 minutes early to get suited up and briefed.
