Important information

When should I reserve?

This is a very popular activity. Reservations for weekends should be made 1 or 2 weeks in advance, and reservations for Christmas vacations, and anytime from mid-February to the last week of March should be made 3 or 4 weeks in advance. For any other time, reservations should be made a few days in advance.

How is this dogsledding activity different from the others?

See our Dogsled Comparison Table.

How should we be dressed?

Consult our What to wear information page.

How many people can go on one sled?

For this adventure, each sled has a guide, and the guide will decide how many people can go on each sled.

Is it hard on the dogs?

These dogs are canine athletes who are bred to pull and run in a cold environment. They are trained and fed properly to be able to do it well. They like pulling a sled as much as a retriever likes fetching a stick. This will become obvious just before the ride starts. Feel free to ask your guide anything you want about sled dogs… learning about the dogs is an interesting part of the experience.

Do we drive our own sled?

On the personalized adventures, the guide drives the sled but may allow participants to share the driving.

Can we visit the kennel?

Yes, you get to visit the kennel and the puppies (seasonal).

Is it physically demanding?

No, you can ride comfortably as a passenger the whole way.

Highlights

More information

Our immersive full-day adventure takes you deep into the Laurentian backwoods for an authentic dogsledding experience that connects you with nature and our incredible athletic dogs. Your journey begins with 1h30 on snow-covered trails before reaching a scenic halfway point where we’ll share a traditional wilderness meal.

Next, our adventure continues for another 1h30 of “mushing” through pristine wilderness. Your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating insights about local wildlife as you travel back-country paths, experiencing the winter forest during rest stops. The combination of friendly dogs, winter landscapes, engaging guides, and a workout makes for an unforgettable winter experience.

Running throughout the winter months, this moderate-intensity activity requires participants to be actively engaged in the sport of dogsledding while enjoying the stunning landscapes of the Laurentian Mountains.
