Snowmobiling in Bend, Oregon

If you’re craving high-speed adventure in a winter wonderland, snowmobiling in Bend, Oregon delivers. With hundreds of miles of groomed trails and wide-open snowfields, Central Oregon is one of the best places in the state to explore by snowmobile and it’s an experience you won’t forget.

Several local outfitters offer guided snowmobile tours that take you deep into the Central Cascades. Cruise through Deschutes National Forest, climb up to panoramic mountain overlooks, and maybe even catch a glimpse of wildlife like elk or snowshoe hares along the way. Tours are available for both beginners and experienced riders, and rental gear is readily available.

Popular snowmobiling areas include Wanoga Sno-Park, Dutchman Flat, and the trails leading toward Moon Mountain and Todd Lake. You can choose from short two-hour excursions to full-day expeditions, or go unguided if you’re comfortable navigating the backcountry on your own. Looking for a slower pace, try snowshoeing.

At the end of a powder-filled day, kick back in one of our cozy Alpenglow vacation rentals. Many of our homes are located just minutes from snow parks and offer hot tubs, fireplaces, gear storage, and pet-friendly options, everything you need to warm up, refuel, and rest before your next adventure.
