Our Tremblant Dog sledding Tour, located just 5 minutes from Tremblant Resort, starts when you are greeted at the kennel by our 80 excited dogs. For the first and last departures of the day, with help from our guides, you will participate in harnessing your team. Our guide will determine the teams of drivers and passengers (can switch places at the half way point, when possible), children will ride with the guide. When the teams are ready, you’ll get a short security briefing and learn how to command the dogs.
Then you’re off! You’ll head out onto valley trails surrounded by pine forests and stunning views of Mont-Tremblant. We are on the trail for about 1 hour.
Back at the kennel, hot chocolate and cookies will be served and you can spend some time petting the dogs and the puppies (when possible.)

FAQ – Diable 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 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.
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.
Will we get to visit the kennel?
Yes you will visit the kennel as well as the puppies (seasonal).
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: Annie and Martin did an exceptional job. They were very personable and excited to introduce us to dogsledding. They did the entire tour in English for us and French for the other couple, which we thought was outstanding and twice the work. Our training and I interaction with the dogs was great. We loved seeing how happy and well cared for the dogs were at the kennel and on the trail.

Comments: We loved how personable everyone was! They made us feel like we were part of a team taking the dogs out. I’ve never experienced a dog sled camp where the dogs were so friendly and interactive. Everyone did a great job making us feel at home and comfortable with the sleds. We will definitely be back!
