In Rivière-du-Loup, snowmobiling isn’t just a winter sport. It’s a culture. A way of traveling. And above all, an excellent reason to stop, eat a hot meal, and chat with people who love to welcome visitors.

Let’s start with the essentials: the trails. In the RDL area, they are renowned for their quality, maintenance, and smoothness. You can ride well, for a long time, without stress. The trails make it easy to connect the Bas-Saint-Laurent region to Quebec’s major snowmobile destinations.

Whether you’re on a regional loop or a long trip to the east, everything flows naturally. Here, snowmobiling is something you plan… but above all, it’s something you experience.

But what really sets Rivière-du-Loup apart isn’t just the snow and well-maintained trails: it’s the welcome.

Seeing snowmobilers arrive at a restaurant in full gear? Totally normal. No one bats an eye. On the contrary.

We’ll find you a seat, bring you your favorite drink, and make sure you eat well and quickly if you want to get back on the trails fast. Here, we enjoy your company. We’re accommodating, attentive, and genuinely happy to see you.

When it comes to accommodation, several hotels have thought of all the details that matter: heated and secure garages, space to leave your trailer, easy access to trails. You can leave your trailer on site and travel light to your destination. Sleep on the way there or back, whichever suits you best. A truly strategic base for long trips.

And after a long day of riding? You’re in the right place. Restaurants, pubs, cafés—everything is within reach. You’ll eat well, sleep well, and leave with a smile on your face.

In short, snowmobiling in Rivière-du-Loup is a winning combination: reliable trails, simple logistics, and a warm welcome. Here, you’re not just passing through. You’re welcomed with open arms.
