The vast parklands and valleys cut
off by massive mountain ranges provides some of the best outback
snowmobiling regions available to explore while
visiting Canada during the winter months. Some
parks are designated snowmobile recreational areas visited regularly
by snow enthusiasts.
The mid mountain slopes, the mountain bike and hiking
trails, the decommissioned and active logging roads leading up and
down the mountains in BC, circling around lakes and over frozen
rivers... all transform into top notch, virgin snowmobiling backcountry
routes in the winter.
Once these trails are blanketed in snow
they become the highways and byways for snowmobile
groups exploring further up into the higher elevations. Often, when
driving the major highways that connect the communities together
there are snowmobile trucks and trailers parked
on the side of the roads unloading.
The snowmobile community is made
up of many local hobbyist and some professional tour operators.
The snowmobile tour operators are set up on various
levels offering different services, tours and amenities.
Some of the snowmobile operators
offer day tours and overnight tours with cottage style or lodge
accommodations. These tours are accompanied by a guide and cross
hundreds of miles of BC wilderness landscape providing meals and
entettainment along the way.
The majority of the snowmobile operators
are located in the remote mountain areas of BC
close to the wilderness trails and alpine peaks. Some operate booking
booths in the nearby commuities.
Plan accordingly as accommodations vary with each
snowmobile operator. Some providing the thrill
but no accommodations while others include accommodations. The nearby
communities, have a great selection of accommodations. Always contact
operators first for the details when snowmobiling in
