So we decided to trailer u to Auberge du Vieux Moulin. Actually don't have an itinerary yet but were hoping this ongoing storm opens some more options. We were looking at looping up through Valin, but kinda nervous on the free weekend and the fact it will be Friday-sat when we would be up there. Looking to miss the rush.

I have been over twice. If I remember correctly it’s about 20 min or so off the main trail. Have to run down side of road for a little bit at some point. Definitely a cool place to check out though.

Hi guys, been a little bit since I have been around. So me and a few first timers are going to be heading up January 14-19th to do a nice 4-5 day loop. I have done roughly all of the regions and personally I love eastern Quebec and riding the mountains. With that being said are coming from Buffalo NY and my group wants to keep drive time to a minimum so western side is about 2.5 hrs shorter drive. I'm wondering based on what the conditions are at this point were would the best place to start a nice loop be from? I'm thinking St. Raymond and north on the west side or putting together a loop from Ville Marie on the eastern side. Looking for anyone one how has done a loop in these places and hows it looking. Thanks

On a side note leaving from st. Ray heading north, what is exact mileage to the apica lookout? I’m debating on stopping for fuel at l’etape or making the run. The 900ace should be more then ok to make it I’m running a 1200 skidoo but I do have a 3 gal caddy. Just don’t want to be cutting hairs on fuel.

I definitely exiting some traffic heading up Saturday to delta but I’m glad Quebec traffic is not the same as NY traffic lol. That would make for a long ride
-
I dug and dug one this with no luck. Doing the run Saturday. We ended up booking at hotel delta. Looks like weather is going to be nice this weekend hope it’s not to busy out there!

I'm booking delta right now

So we decide to start a day earlier. Wanted to break up trip from ray to passions. So I'm looking at riding to Alma and then making a long ride over to Passions. Does anyone have any recommendations were to stay east of the lake? Hotel Universal is full sat night. I am. looking at Auberge des Iles has anyone stayed there before?
-
So I'm just wondering if there is any lodging as another option between St. Ray and Saguenay? Just to shorten the day up some. Does not look to be that way but I figured id ask to be sure.

Yikes! really that far? Hmm not experienced as much as most guys here but this will be our fourth trip up. Ive already let the warning out its going to be a long day and she accepted. I no weather plays a big part as the first experience we had in Quebec got real fast when I played with the weather. I may play it by ear at this point and watch conditions as trip gets closer. If theres a storm or weather comming I'm going to re plan. Is this route tight or more of an open ride?

Hello, I checked this out on the map and it seems to be within the 225 mile or so range. Normally I try and keep the miles around 180 or below but she was ok with the longer day that one time. We will be staying at Passions for three nights after so if we do arive later it would be ok. If you think it will be farther then what I'm thinking please let me no. I do not want to push it to hard. I also see that 23 north looks pretty open from the pics I have checked out.
Thanks

So we ended up deciding to start the trip off in St. Raymond, then head to Passions for three nights. Then from there we are going to head down 83 over to Le Manor Richelieu. Then back to the truck at Hotel Roquemont. I spoke with snow farmer again and he gave me a few places to hit. Is there any spots you guys like in those parts? Food spots or some of those beautiful views I keep seeing? Thanks. Glad I talked wife into doing a half and half saddle bagger.

Hello all, I’m putting together a trip in February for a week. This will be my first time in the region and looking for imput. Was wondering were you would recommend making a “home base” and make day trips from. We would definitely like to have our own chalet or cabin. Looking in to Passions now. Snowfarmer gave me a few places as well. To check out. Would definitely be open to packing up for a night or two as well and doing a small loop in the area. I appreciate any help or ideas. Thanks again!

Hope trails shape up some! We're getting ready to begin drive up tonight. It would be great if we cross paths at some point! Have a safe trip can't wait to see what's in store. Hopefully the storm this coming Wednesday there calling for backs off!

Just great pictures looks awesome

Yes looks like a relaxing spot, but like your saying it's a ski resort. Also I think you would have to bring your own food. Cannot seem to find if there's a restaurant on property. I may just stay with hotel francis.

Well I'm going to try the big loop again in a couple weeks! Im in the process of booking hotel rooms at this point and I'm curious if any one has had experience with Station Touristique Pin Rouge? I was originally looking at Hotel Francis but Pin Rouge caught my eye. Me and my wife plan on talking a day break there so we will be spending two nights just to have some down time. Any input is appreceated. Thanks again!!

Great thank you for the ideas sounds fun!
Lac Edouard Lodging
in Mauricie-Centre du Québec
Posted
Just wanted to put in a great word for Dumaine du Lac Edouard. We stopped in there last Thursday night and have nothing but good to say about the accommodations but the owner really went above and beyond. He gave us great food, cold drinks, good rooms, but spent over 45 minutes on the phone trying to help us find lodging on the busy Friday night ahead. If your ever in the area highly recommended! Also helped us out with a dead sled in the morning due to freezing cold temperatures.
