smclelan Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Going to trailer up Feb.2 to Temiscamingue Stay at the Canadienne and start a three day two night tour of the area First night in La Sarre Second in Val D'or Then back to Temiscamingue the third day Can't wait !! This will be my first trip to Quebec My first trip to PQ was back in 99, and likely have been there sledding 40 times since. The Abitibi Region has some of the best snowmobiling in the world. Snowmobiling in Quebec is addictive, I am sure this won't be your only trip. I will be leaving February 5th from Point a LA Croix for a 10 day loop and will likely be through the Abitibi Region. Have a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Hey smclelan. 10 days....nice. I like your style. Longer the ride the better. I have said it before i will say it again. West is Best. Enjoy Duster and like was said above you will be craving for more Quebec trails after this first run. No doubt bout it.

Duster Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Anyone been through Senneterre ? How hard is it to get from 93 to 83 I will be coming from Amos are heading to Val D'or and would like to go around that way but looking at the map it looks a little complicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipeman Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Not complicated at all you will see the signs for the 83 and there are several feeder trails that will link up with the 83 as well. Take a spin over to Lac Failion if you have time that is a great part of 83 to run, it will be 83 east and you will see signs for it as well. Also you could take a run up to Matagami, ( pretty much straight north of Amos, which by the way Amos has been awarded best tasting water in the world) then head east / South to Lebel Sur Quellevion then down to Senneterre etc... all great riding. If you could squeeze a 4th day in all would be possible Edited December 1, 2015 by Pipeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duster Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Well according to the map we have three days at 180-200 miles a day Not sure what it's like in Quebec but here in Ontario those a big mileage days so I'm not sure I'm going to be able to add any more destinations. Lol I should have mentioned that we are coming from la sarre the day we head to Val Dor Edited December 1, 2015 by Duster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Well according to the map we have three days at 180-200 miles a day Not sure what it's like in Quebec but here in Ontario those a big mileage days so I'm not sure I'm going to be able to add any more destinations. Lol In that part of Qc no problem. Unless you stop every 10 miles you'll be in by 3pm if not earlier. Very rarely do we have less then 100-125 miles on before lunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Go for it Duster. Like Jackstraw says, there in that region are some big trails. You can really cover some ground. Myself, I have never been riding in Ontario but most guys I meet and talk with who are from Ontario(and I've met alot)tell me not to bother cause only northern Ontario is really anything like Quebec ridng. I apologize in advance for you not wanting to ride anywhere but Quebec after this trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duster Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I live in a region with a great trail network and groomed well but they are tight and twisty with some lake running mixed in so 180 miles is a workout !! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are headed to some Super-Highway like trails the 93 from La Sarre to Seneterre is smokin. But hard to find a bad choice out there. Trust me.

Duster Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Is it varied terrain ? Elevation changes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Is it varied terrain ? Elevation changes ? I would say the terrain varies some but no big elevation changes really. For the most part. You will love it. Big fast trails and usually not very much traffic. Signage is real good out there and the last two times i went out west we rode almost every trail out there. Been there many many times. Where u staying in La Sarre? Villa mon Repos? Val d'Or? Forrestal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14 snow Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 This is a great "introduction" into Quebec. It's a great little trip you have planned there. Did a very similar route last year. Like others said, you will be back many more times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
