Here’s the perfect package for those who wish to fit the fantastic experience of an authentic snowmobile raid in a tight schedule. You cannot spend a whole week on the trails? No problem, we came up with this outstanding 3 days of adventures during which your experienced guide will lead you through the wild territories of the Haute-Mauricie region. Each day will be dedicated to the discovery of a new natural area. To make sure that you’ll take fully advantage of the rich fauna and flora, we deliberately reduced the distance between each stop to allow you plenty of time for sightseeing and pictures!

Day 1 - Montreal / Trois- Rives / Lac-aux-Sables (105 km)
The itinerary between Montreal and the Mauricie region will enable you to admire some magnificent landscapes, especially along the Saint-Maurice River Valley. Once at the Adventure Center, you’ll choose your “extreme cold” clothing and your guide will give you the explanation of the safety guidelines, the technical advices and the initial training. As soon as everybody’s ready, the snowmobile adventure will begin. You’ll then discover Canada’s wide open spaces! Since it will probably be your first time riding such an engine, you guide will give you plenty of time to become accustomed to these new riding techniques. After an exciting adventure in the remote territories of the Mauricie region, you’ll reach a luxurious 4 stars cottage where you’ll spend your first night in the heart of the Canadian forest. Please note that the cottage is equipped with 3 bathroom that you’ll share with the rest of your group. (Lunch and dinner included)

Day 2 - Lac-aux-Sables (115 km) / Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc
Another exciting day during which you’ll have the opportunity to explore the area of the Tawachiche Natural Park. You’ll also have the opportunity to pass by the charming village of Saint-Tite which becomes, every summer, the largest cowboys gathering in eastern Canada. Even in winter, you’ll be amazed to find this little piece of far-west in the heart of Quebec’s forest! You’ll then cross the frozen Saint-Maurice River on your way to the legendary Mauricie National Park area. You’ll then reach a cozy and authentik log-made inn where you’ll comfortably spend the night. You’ll then have the priviliege to visit one of the most beautiful sites dedicated to the learning of the Native culture in Quebec. You’ll indeed be invited for a visit of the Mototakan site which means curvedknife in Attikamekw language. It’s actually a small village whose goal is to give an insight of the 5000 years old Indian presence in this region. The site features several replicas of the different types of buildings used by Quebec’s 11 native nations. The visit represents a unique occasion to learn about the culture, the history and the spirituality of these nations. (Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)

Day 3 – Saint-Mathieu-du- Parc / Trois-Rives / Montreal (110 km)
Take advantage of a last day to discover a magnificent nature where the Canadian cliché of the wild forests sparkled with isolated lakes becomes a reality! Back at the adventure center at the end of the day, you’ll take advantage of a farewell dinner during which you’ll have the opportunity to discuss about your adventures before the transfer to Montréal. (Breakfast, lunch and dinner included)
