Needless to say I would recommend this tour as you see things on top of a snow filled mountain you just don't see everyday. A must while in Whistler!!”

9.Montreal: Canadian Forest Guided Tour by Snowmobile

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 6 reviews · 3 - 8 hours · from $402

Leave downtown Montreal for the Laurentides and ride a guided snowmobile trail near Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts and Olympia Mount. Your guide, possibly Fernando, gives a safety briefing before leading you through snowy forest, steep hills, tight bends, and frozen-lake scenery. Transport, fuel, insurance, and cold-weather riding gear are included.

“Exhilarating! Our guide Fernando was excellent, teaching us everything we needed to know before setting off into the snowy Canadian forest, up and down steep hills and round tight bends, knowing that just one momentary loss of concentration and you’d be driving into a massive yellow birch tree or tipping over in the deep snow! We also stopped a few times along the trail to learn about the surrounding wildlife and walk on a frozen lake. Great fun, I would highly recommend it.”
