Andyman Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Just read Jack and Sandi's post regarding the Bernieres being closed and the trail head being relocated. Has anyone been in contact with the Colibri regarding the shuttle and its availability??? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted December 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I am going to call and will update if I find anything out! Andy momojohnny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revct1 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Thanks Andy. I was thinking about it but my French is about as good as my Latin. I would probably post the opposite of what I was told. Jack & Sandi Snobeeler and MrGutz 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted December 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Just hung the phone up from the Colibri. The shuttle starts next Thursday Jan 4th for the season. It will leave from the Colibri on the north side as usual and with the Bernieres closed the procedure will be to park near the Bernieres and call the Colibri and they will contact the shuttle on your behalf and send him to pick you up. $32 per sled. I will let you know how it works! LOL Colibri 418-872-2848 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazer Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Wow.... what happened to the Bernieres? Closed !!! Oh my whatta surprise! Last year they were building an addition across the street in the old parking lot and I was told they were adding an additional floor to the existing motel. What has gone wrong?

Andyman Posted December 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Apparently they have torn part of it down and are rebuilding/renovating not sure when it will reopen my guess is not this season. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi JG, The Normandin Restaurant is open in the big parking lot. The next phase is to remodel the motel. The motel is closed during the renovations. The old restaurants, reception and oldest parts of the motel are gone. I would think it will re-open before next season. All part of the big Normadin corporate plan.

What's your info. You have stayed there I take it. Good hotel? Easy access to the trail? Secure parking for truck and trailer? We are looking for a starting pint to ride out of and go to RDL and something in Levis will replace Bernieres for now. Maybe it will be a permanent change. I'm concerned that Normadin may not treat snowmobilers the same way Bernieres did. Thanks for any input. Jack & Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shore1066 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Jack and Sandy. Another option we have done is go up the road to Montmagny and there is a Econo lodge there that we have enjoyed. I believe it was we stayed there one night and left the next day. We got 3 days free for parking of the truck. Then it was like 10 dollars a day after. We had no problems with the truck being parked there. The trail 5 is across the street from the Hotel in front of the Ski Doo dealer. The rooms were good and they always put us on the ground floor with a access door to the outside. Only another option. Be safe. Oh yea a easy ride to RDL. Green trail south to trail 35 or 55. Both great rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revct1 Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Thanks Shore. We've ridden there many times and based out of Bernieres. Now that Bernieres is closed for this season, we are looking for a place to start and finish from. Levis would give us a little more saddle time than Montmagny. Thanks for the input.

markusvt Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 As posted above they say they are closed for January only. No need for the shuttle if you want to ride on the east side of the seaway, just drive 10 minutes more and stay in one on the 4+ places in Levis. dooright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack & Sandi Why would you want to have more saddle time when you can be in the truck with the heat and comfortable? And you can save some mileage on the sled!
