A Snowmobile vacation is a vacation where you are around a lot of snow and the primary mode of transportation and fun is a snowmobile. I have never had the pleasure of riding a snowmobile since it doesn’t snow that hard in New York City but I would love to go to a place like Lanaudière to have some fun with snowmobiles.

Lanaudière is a great place to spend your snowmobile vacation. It was reported that in the past week alone they have gotten about 18 inches of snow and you can add on more from the previous week and then add on more later on. It truly is a winter wonderland and it is located in Quebec, Canada if you were wondering that.

Lanaudière, Snowmobile Country,

For more than 30 years, Lanaudière has been a snowmobiling capital!

Rawdon, November 30, 2007 – Mother Nature has been busy during the past week, covering the Lanaudière landscape with an average of 45 cm (18 inches) of snow and more in the northern part of the region.

These are the areas that are currently accessible, where conditions are good with new snow coverage:

Tourisme Lanaudière reminds you of the importance of driving safely and respectfully. Permission to pass through private property is difficult to conserve and represents a privilege to users. Respect for property and words of thanks to owners are gestures that are greatly appreciated, and it is equally important to respect signs and trail markers.
