About the club
Fédération des clubs de motoneigistes du Québec - FCMQ
We are a club of snowmobilers associated with the FCMQ in region 10- Eastern Townships.
Welcome to our Playground!
Sherbrooke is the 5th largest city in the province of Quebec and the 19th in Canada. It is located approximately 160 kilometers from Montreal and 230 kilometers from the city of Quebec. Geographically, the Harfang de l’Estrie Snowmobile Club maintains close to 200 kilometers of trails covering the greater region of Sherbrooke.
Our trails span the following municipalities:
- Sherbrooke
- Saint-Denis-de-Brompton
- Saint-François-Xavier-de-Brompton
- Windsor
- Stoke
- Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley
Our trails provide, among others, access to:
- Pionniers de Valcourt club trails via regional trail #521 in St-Denis de Brompton
- Alléghanish des Bois-Francs club trails via a local trail north of Richmond
- Esquimaux d’Asbestos club trails via regional trail #525 to the North
- Aigle Noir d’East Angus club trails via regional trail #525 to the East
- Blancs Sommets club trails via Trans-Québec trail #55 to the South-East
- Motoneigistes Memphrémagog club trails via the local trail near Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley (Katevale) and by the Trans Québec trail #55
Bombardier - BRP - CTA
It goes without saying that if you visit our beautiful region, chances are good people living in this area have witnessed the development and growth of a company from nearby Valcourt named Bombardier (now BRP). Expansion included installations in Sherbrooke which remain to this day. Among these, worth noting is the Advanced Technology Centre (CTA), a facility focused on research and innovation in advanced technologies for the power sports industry. The center uses one of our old trails to conduct tests on future vehicles that are in development.
Dedicated volunteers!
If one day you come visit us during one of our meetings at the club garage which is located in the Bromptonville borough, you will see our volunteers sitting around the table.
The main strength of our club is our team of volunteers. Of course, we are very proud of our trails, but we are even more proud to be snowmobilers and to be a club which listens to its members.
Words from our president
Welcome to our website
Hello fellow snowmobilers
I am very pleased to continue my involvement with the Harfang de l’Estrie Snowmobile Club, this time as president. The club stands before a number of challenges which I look forward to facing head-on with the invaluable assistance of our club’s volunteers. I begin my first mandate by prioritizing the collaboration between clubs to ensure the best quality of trails possible.
As we all know, the involvement of property owners is key in assuring the sustainability of our trails. To this end, it goes without saying that remaining on the trails is very important. Finally, all this is possible due to the commitment of numerous volunteers and the support of our sponsors.
As with each year, there are several projects in the works to prepare the trails. Among these this year, we will have a new crossing in St-Élie to avoid the entry and exit ramps of the autoroute, and a new section of trail near Kruger in Bromptonville to avoid the steep hill in that area. These two additions will greatly improve trail safety. Other projects are in the works including possible solutions for Rock Forest.
I wish us all an excellent snowmobiling season with the greatest of respect, safety and passion!
Thank you for your confidence and once again, a special thanks to property owners, club volunteers, club sponsors and all snowmobilers everywhere!
