Description

Are you ready for a thrilling day of snowmobiling in the stunning winter landscapes of Whitefish, Montana? Find adventure on this Guided Full-Day Snowmobile Tour and experience the thrill of riding a modern and high-quality snowmobile through fresh powder and scenic trails of the Whitefish mountain range.

This full-day 8-hour adventure begins with a simple safety briefing where you'll get comfortable with the snowmobile and get to know your guide. Once prepared, you'll set off directly from the shop, ascending into the foothills of the Whitefish Range. Here, you can marvel at the stunning vistas of the Salish Mountains, and on a clear day, you might even catch a glimpse of the majestic peaks of Glacier National Park in the distance!

Whether you're looking to stay on groomed trails or seeking a more backcountry experience, this fully private tour caters to all levels of snowmobiling enthusiasts. For seasoned snowmobilers, there's an abundance of challenging terrain to explore and conquer as you glide through the powder. If you're new to snowmobiling, the groomed trails of Northwestern Montana offer an ideal setting to develop your skills and build confidence.

During the tour, you'll have the opportunity to stop for a meal and to warm up. While lunch is not included, you can choose to purchase a to-go lunch prior to departure for an on-the-trail experience, or you can return mid-way through the day to enjoy a hot meal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I snowmobile in Glacier National Park?
No, snowmobiles are not allowed within the boundaries of Glacier National Park. This trip will take place north of Whitefish near the community of Olney which is about 45 miles from the park.
Is snowmobiling beginner friendly?
Snowmobiling is a fun and exciting way for the whole family to enjoy the outdoors. If this is your first time on a snowmobile we strongly encourage booking a guided experience rather than a rental. An experienced and knowledgeable local guide will make sure to show you the best spots while keeping you safe.

Hot Lunch - Burger, hot dog, or chili with side salad and chips

Cold Lunch - Ham, turkey, or roast beef sandwich with fruit/veggies, and chips

What kind of snowmobiles do you have?
We partner with the top rental companies around to offer a wide lineup of top-line Polaris snowmobiles and a variety of different models are available for both new and experienced riders. Those interested in more advanced mountain and performance sleds such as Pro RMK 650 or 850 should contact Glacier Tourbase directly.
Can I rent just a single snowmobile?

For safety purposes, each group is required to have two snowmobiles. If you are traveling solo or with 2 people, you must rent at least two snowmobiles unless booking a guided tour.

Where is the meeting point?

The meeting location is in Olney, about 25 minutes north of Whitefish and easily accessible from the main highway. Your confirmation email will provide further meeting instructions.

How long does the snowmobile season last?

Snowmobile tours and rentals begin in early to mid-December and last until early April.

What kind of snowmobiles do you have?

A variety of snowmobiles are available based on your preference and skill level. We recommend beginners and most riders choose the standard double-rider 550 trail sled. These easy-to-ride sleds are best suited for groomed terrain and designated trails. If you prefer a higher performance or like to spend time in ungroomed terrain, we offer both 650 and 850 mountain sleds. Please contact Glacier Tourbase directly to inquire about additional sleds.

What should I wear?

We recommend you wear warm layers or ski gear. However, full gear rentals are available and we offer EVERYTHING you could need. Helmets are included in all rentals.
