Description

Dogsledding is a sport. Participants will be active during the ride.

Welcome to our family dogsledding trip. At the start of this adventure, you will be greeted directly at our kennel where you can visit over 60 Siberian husky dogs. Before hitting the trail your guide will help you harness the huskies, learn your dogs’ names and give you some security tips and simple instructions on how to drive your 6-dog team through winding forest trails suitable for everyone.

Before the departure, the adults will be teamed up. Our guides will decide positions on the sleds. (If you have a particular position request please make it known to our guide when you arrive). There will be one driver and one or two passengers per sled. Adults will usually, but not always, drive their own dog sled with an adult passenger. Passengers and drivers can switch places half way through the excursion. Children may be required to ride as passengers on the guides’ sleds or ride on parents sled.

Half way, we will take a break in a shack to warm up next to the fire and to taste some homemade traditional desserts.

Back at the kennel, you will have time to pet the dogs and reward them with some cookies! You will also visit the kennel and the puppies (seasonal). A special time spent with the pack!

At the end of the activity, a hot bowl of soup will be served as you warm up next to the fireplace.

It’s an unforgettable, unique experience. Make sure to bring your camera!

FAQ

When should I reserve?

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

How is this dogsledding activity different from the ohers ?

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?

We usually configure 2 adults per sled (one driver, one passenger) Children go with the guides for safety reasons. Configuration also depends on the weather and snow conditions.

Is it hard on the dogs?

These dogs are working dogs 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?

Yes, each participant over 90lbs will have a chance to drive the sled. The reason for the weight restriction is to be able to apply enough pressure when needed on the brake to stop the dogs from moving forward.

Is it hard?

This activity can be strenuous for drivers. As a driver you are part of the team, so when the climbs are steep the driver will to get off and walk, jog or even help push the sled.

Comments: We loved these guides and sleds. We started by leading the dogs to each sled then had a very wholesome afternoon on the sleds with the dogs. The terrain was technical and the guides were able to accommodate our large group.

Comments: We had been to two other dogsledding experiences - one in Quebec and one in Ontario. This one was the best from bringing the dogs to the sleds one-by-one to driving the sled ourselves, to the halfway stop with cocoa and cookies to change driver/passenger, to the complimentary soup in the attractive lodge.

Comments: We loved it. The guides were great and wonderful with our 3 year old daughter when she was afraid. We loved being able to pet all the dogs and go see the puppies after too. It is expensive but we understand why as there is a lot of man-power required. We will remember this for a long time.

Comments: The service was phenomenal. We arrived early and were greeted by the staff out by our car. The staff treated us to music by the fireplace before the activity began. Everyone was excited to get the day going and was welcoming. The entire process was easy and efficient. I would highly recommend The Activity Centre to anyone. The activity staff was educated, helpful, enthusiastic and friendly. They made the experience. The experience was exactly was what was informed but seemed as though you got more for your money. The whole day was an adventure. It was truly fun all around regardless of what part of the experience it was.

Comments: This was a remarkable adventure. Sonya and all of the other guides were absolutely wonderful throughout this event. The guides were immediately available when needed during the event, but not intrusive. It was as if they would appear instantly if something was needed. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I am particularly in debt to Marjorie, who noticed that I was experiencing some discomfort (the temperature was extremely cold that day) as my hands were very cold and I was losing sensation in my fingers. She took off my gloves and replaced them with a pair of her mittens, and in a very short time my hands had warmed up. She is my hero! Thanks Marjorie!! Once back at the ranch after the adventure, we were treated to hot soup and lively conversation with the other dog sledders and guides. Overall, it is an experience I will never forget. Thanks to all!!
