FAQ

FAQ – Nordic Adventure

When should I reserve?

These are very popular activities. Reservations for weekends and vacations should be made 1 to 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 between 3 and 11 years old 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, participants that are 14 years old and over and a minimum of 90lbs will have a chance to drive the sled, depending on the conditions.

Can we pet the dogs?

Yes, at the end of the ride, you get to pet and reward them.

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 have to get off and walk, jog or even help push the sled.

⭐ Rated 4.9/5 based on 48 guest reviews.

We had a wonderful day on the dog sledding tour. Our guide was very friendly, the dogs were super sweet and the 1 hour tour was a good length for our first time. My only challenge was the state of the road to get to the site, the last 10 km or so off the highway were full of potholes and very rough.

The dogsledding outing was the highlight of our week-long trip to Tremblant. The dogs were happy and well cared for, the proprietors were knowledgeable and kind, and the setting was serene and magical. We were able to participate in feeding the dogs and in riding inside and on the back of the dogsled. Altogether excellent.

We loved our afternoon dogsledding. The owner and the guides were all friendly and very helpful. They spent time answering questions and providing information on the dogs. The dogs all seemed well cared for and excited to run. We had the opportunity to both drive and ride, and the tour through the woods and around a frozen lake was beautiful and peaceful. I would definitely recommend it.
