Summits Circuit

New since winter 2010

Since January 2010, the Monts Valin sector offers snowmobilers newly developed circuit, backed by a $425,000 investment from the Quebec Government. The "Summits Circuit" gives enthusiasts the opportunity to travel a large part of the Monts-Valin territory thanks to the access to a series of five mountains, all with exceptional, breathtaking views over the region.

This new development represents the addition to the existing network of 28 km of new paths.
