Trails & Alpine Riding

Snowmobiling in Revelstoke is all about the mountains. The immediate region offers appr 100 kms of trails groomed regularly by the Snowmobile Revelstoke Society. Outlaying areas offer another 800 kms of ungroomed mountain roads and trails. But why ride trails when the best riding and most fun is found on top of the mountains? The alpine areas of Boulder, Frisby, Turtle, just to name a few, offer spectacular hill-climbs, deep snow and sensational scenery, unparalelled in North America. Great Canadian Snowmobile Tours is largely oriented towards riding the alpine areas. We figure you're here to experience the sensational powder of the Columbia's, not to ride a bunch of trails. Find out more about Great Canadian Snowmobile Tours.  See pictures.
