North Shore snowmobile sectors
From Baie-Comeau to the Route blanche, explore every snowmobile sector on Quebec's North Shore: its trails, conditions and access.
Snowmobiling in Baie-Comeau
Baie-Comeau is the logical jumping-off point for riding the Manicouagan. The Trans-Québec 3 trail runs through town, fuel and rest stops are close, and a few hours of sled gets you to the foot of Manic-5 or up into the high country. It's also where our base is: a heated garage and a direct start onto the trail.

The Route blanche is Quebec's great snowmobile adventure. On the Lower North Shore, where the road ends, a long marked trail links the coastal villages all winter, over snow and ice, dotted with refuges. It's remote, it's demanding, and it's one of the finest rides in the country.

Sept-Îles, the largest city on the North Shore, is a gateway to the big northern network. Federated trails, access to the backcountry and the Duplessis territory, and a handy launch point for riders who want to push further up the coast.

Port-Cartier opens onto a wild, quiet backcountry. Between the gulf and the large Port-Cartier–Sept-Îles wildlife reserve, the sector offers federated trails and a country of tundra and forest far from the crowds.
Read →Snowmobiling in Fermont
Fermont, far north up Route 389, is deep-snow country. An abundant snowpack and one of Quebec's longest seasons, often stretching well past when the south has melted: for many snowmobilers, this is where winter lasts longest.
Read →Snowmobiling on the Upper North Shore
The Upper North Shore is the region's gateway when you're coming up from the south. Forestville, Les Escoumins, Tadoussac and Sacré-Cœur: this is often where riders from Quebec City or the Saguenay touch their first North Shore trails.
