This tour offers the best of both worlds! Ride part of the Gaspé Peninsula Tour (on the south shore) and also discover the north shore of Québec maritime (Manicougan region). Hop on the ferry from Matane to Baie-Comeau (2h20) and cross over the St. Lawrence River for an unforgettable adventure. Baie-Comeau is a full-service town. En route, you will see colourful coastal villages that provide regular services and lodging. Meet the locals–their hospitality is legendary!

MEMORABLE SIGHTS


The bridge over the Manicouagan River, west of Baie-Comeau, is more than 200 metres (700 feet) long and stands 27 metres (90 feet) above the river. It is the longest snowmobile bridge in North America!

Tadoussac Bay and the Saguenay Fjord are must-sees. Under their winter coats they offer outstanding panoramas and are great observation points.


Ten kilometres (6 miles) east of the charming coastal village of Portneuf-sur-Mer, on TQ3, you will cross over the Portneuf River. In the middle of nowhere, this 30-metre (100-feet) bridge is illuminated at night. The view is simply magical!



Looking for the perfect snowmobiling destination? Québec maritime offers great snow conditions from December to late March or early April, interconnected and well-maintained trails, excellent signage and lots of snowmobile-friendly services and amenities. Most of the suggested accommodations have direct access to groomed trails.
