Dogsledding – Forest Adventure
For ages 3 yrs +
$0.00
Mush! On our Tremblant dogsledding adventure you will harness your team before hitting the trails with your experienced guide.
Dog sledding is a sport. Participants will be active during the ride.
Mush! On our Tremblant dog sledding experience near Mont-Tremblant you will meet at the reception where you can warm up next to the fireplace before heading to the kennel where 150 eager dogs will be awaiting your arrival.
Then, before hitting the trail, with the help of your guide, you will harness the huskies, learn your dogs’ names, and receive some simple instructions on how to drive a team.
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.
Our Tremblant forest dogsledding tour takes you over hilly forest trails and includes a stop in a warm cabin with hot chocolate and cookies. We are on the trail for about 1 hour.
Upon return, you can visit the kennel and pet the dogs and the puppies (seasonal). A light lunch is served at our restaurant style lodge before your departure. You can take this time to talk with the guides and learn more about the world of dogsledding.
Safety, ethics, and animal health information for our operation: Read about our operating standards and Code of ethics.
We offer several dog sledding activities in the area, see our Dogsled Comparison Table.

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. See our Dogsled Comparison Table. Consult our What to wear information page. We usually configure 2 adults per sled (one driver, one passenger) Children under 90lbs go with the guides for safety reasons. Configuration also depends on the weather and snow conditions. Depending on the excursion we can sometimes arrange 2 adults and 1 child on one sled. 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. 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. Yes you will visit the kennel as well as the puppies (seasonal). 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.When Should I reserve?

Comments: It was amazing, the only disappointment was not being given even 5 minutes to enjoy the soup, the light lunch that was described in the tour. The soup was there but we where told to get on the shuttle, and not given any time to enjoy it.

Comments: This trip was absolutely perfect! The staff was fantastic, the experience was amazing and the facilities were great. We absolutely loved it, and the dogsledding actually became the highlight of our winter snow vacation. My husband and brother-in-law were very skeptical of doing the activity at first and both couldn’t stop smiling the whole time and even said it was one of the best things they had ever done. My two young sons (5 and 8) had an absolute blast and I loved the whole thing. We absolutely could not think of one way to change or improve the experience and recommended it to everyone we have spoken to since doing it. Absolutely brilliant!
