Description

Discover a breathtaking Montana winter landscape with a Half-Day Guided Snowmobile Tour near Whitefish. This family-friendly experience is suitable for both beginners and experts who are looking to enjoy stunning scenery and fresh powder. Located 20 minutes from downtown Whitefish, this guided Montana snowmobile tour offers one of the best ways to experience winter in northwest Montana.

Upon check-in and gearing up, you will head directly from the shop to the expertly groomed trails within Stillwater State Forest, venturing into the foothills of the Whitefish Range to enjoy incredible views of the surrounding mountains. The surrounding forests boast over 200 miles of groomed terrain, so there's no shortage of things to see and hidden gems to discover. If the conditions are right on a clear day, you might even catch a glimpse of the towering peaks of Glacier National Park in the distance!

This private tour lasts 4 hours and offers the option to explore deep powder or stick to groomed terrain. Choose between an easy-to-ride trail sled or a more powerful mountain sled before hitting the trails on your next adventure. Prepare to journey through snow-covered forests and ascend mountain ridges to witness breathtaking views accessible only by snowmobile.

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 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.
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.
