A dream snowmobile adventure

Located in northern Quebec, the Côte-Nord is naturally blessed with heavy snowfalls and a long winter, making it an absolute paradise for snowmobilers.

The region offers unforgettable wilderness experiences, including the Nordic Raid and the Monts-Valin–Les Escoumins circuit. With its snowy forests and sweeping views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Côte-Nord offers both stunning landscapes and impressive infrastructure, including the iconic 213-metre-long Manicouagan Bridge. At 28 metres high, it’s the tallest snowmobile bridge in North America!

Camp Innu Uamastakenis

A fascinating journey into the heart of Innu culture

In Pessamit, an hour from Baie-Comeau, Camp Innu Uamastakenis provides a unique opportunity to explore a nomadic way of life shaped by the seasons and a deep connection to the land. You’ll learn about core values like mutual support and community spirit at the Uamastakenis portage, an iconic heritage site.

During winter, the serene, snow-covered forest sets the stage for a calming outdoor experience. A cozy, authentic prospector tent combines comfort and authenticity, creating a getaway full of shared experiences and new discoveries.
