SUPERB SCENERY: “When you are snowmobiling out here, you can enjoy wilderness trails, beautiful countryside and wildlife—and there are a few lakes that you can access that are ideal for fishing.” — Brent Holick, an avid snowmobiler and president of the La Crete Polar Cats

La Crete is in an area that is known for its first-rate snowmobiling conditions. Plus, with 290 kilometres of groomed trails, you can spend an entire weekend having some fun at this small northern Alberta community.
“The scenery is absolutely fantastic,” said Brent Holick, president of the La Crete Polar Cats.

An excellent trail system

One of the most interesting features about the La Crete Polar Cats’ trail system is its cabin that sits at the top of a large hill. Holick said the cabin is ideal for an overnight stay and all that a person needs to bring is a sleeping bag and some food.

“This is a great place to stay and it provides a great vantage point to see the northern lights,” said Holick. “The northern lights are really something—everybody needs to see them.”

A snowmobile-friendly town

One thing that makes snowmobiling so enjoyable in La Crete is that it is truly a snowmobile-friendly community. Holick said that the snowmobile club has been named one of the best service clubs in La Crete.
