FAQ

To rent and drive a snowmobile, you must have a valid car or motorcycle driving license (all engine sizes) AND be at least 18 years old.

With the exception of rental without a guide for which you must be at least 21 years old.

Yes of course !

All our snowmobiles are two-seaters. You can therefore either have your child (see conditions) as a passenger or an adult without a license or who does not wish to drive. Or be two adults on the same snowmobile and alternate driving.

You can also rent a snowmobile solo and drive the snowmobile for the duration of the ride.

We happily accept children! We have all the snowmobile equipment for them.

For half-days: the child must be at least 5 years old and at least 1m10 tall. (7 years for rentals without a guide).

For days, we accept children aged 10 and over (1m37 minimum).

It is important that your child is happy to discover this activity and able to express his needs and feelings. They will remain as passengers for the entire duration of the hike, for this reason we advise you to dress them appropriately.

All our rentals include helmet (obligatory), snowmobile boots, mittens, overalls and snowmobile coat.

We advise you to bring several layers of clothing (we dress like an onion), a good pair of merino wool socks if possible and an insulating and breathable first layer (avoid cotton which retains moisture).

Wear pants that you are comfortable in, and possibly tights  underneath. On top, you will put on the snowmobile overalls that we provide you.

We operate from mid-December to the end of March, depending on snow conditions. Each period has its advantages and disadvantages.

December is the school holidays and end-of-year celebrations, but some years the lakes are not frozen enough to go there. So for this period, only half-days are offered to travel on snowmobile trails on dry land.

Then from January to March, temperatures can vary and the days get longer. We offer all our packages during this period.

Not including lunches in your package gives you more flexibility. We go to different restaurants and this allows us, depending on the days and the snowmobile tour, to take our lunch break in the one that suits us.

In addition, this allows you to choose what you want to eat according to your desires and needs (intolerances, etc.). Everyone will therefore be able to eat as much as they want and will pay according to their choices.

The deposit corresponds to the amount of our snowmobile franchise. You are responsible for the first $2,500 + taxes (or $3,000 + taxes for rental without a guide) for any damage caused to the snowmobile and the equipment provided. Above, the costs are covered by Arctic Aventure or its insurance. A deposit of this amount will be requested from you by Visa or MasterCard credit card (check your payment authorization / ceiling with your bank) before entrusting you with your snowmobile and will be returned to you at the end of your activity, after checking that there is no damage.. The deposit amount will be blocked on your card for the duration of the activity.

All of our guides have completed and successfully completed their off-road vehicle safety training.

All our guides also have a Wilderness and Remote First Aid certificate.

Our activities are group activities, you will be joined with other participants.

In general, we provide departure from two rented snowmobiles.

On average there are 5 to 6 snowmobiles behind a guide, depending on reservations.

We can privatize groups (family, friends, etc.), do not hesitate to contact us for this.

No, it is not necessary to have ridden a motorcycle to snowmobile. We provide training delivered by your guide. He will listen to you for the duration of your activity and will never force you to go beyond your limits, which makes snowmobiling accessible to everyone. We offer several packages with different levels of technical and physical effort that allow you to choose what seems most suitable for you. We are also available to answer your questions and help you in your choice.
