Description

Our Tremblant Dog sledding Tour, located just 5 minutes from Tremblant, starts when you are greeted at the kennel by our 80 excited dogs. 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 and 15 minutes.

Back at the kennel, hot chocolate and cookies will be served and you can take a tour of the facilities and pet the dogs and the puppies (when possible).

FAQ

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 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: The value of the experience is definitely worth it and the duration was even longer than we thought. Our issue with the overall experience is that the guide and the whole setup of the experience was very unorganized. First off, there should be more guides who need to be well prepared and well organized. This was not the case. Our biggest concern was for the dogs however. Before our sled took off, one of the dogs severely bit the other dog who was bleeding a lot from his ear. The guide put snow on his wound and we began. This was concerning as the dog was quite injured. When we were at the break point, some of the dogs seemed exhausted! And there was another dog bleeding from its paw. I am well aware that these dogs truly love sledding, but as an animal lover, you would expect and hope that the animals are being well cared for and that is not the case. It is not to say that the guide mistreated them in any way, but the poorly managed experience seems to be affecting the dogs. Seeing as this is an activity that many animal lovers partake in, the treatment and care of the animals should be top priority.

Management Response:

Thank you very much for taking the time to give us your comments.

We are very sorry that you were disapointed about your doglsedding experience. I spoke to our head guide about your situation to understand what happenned.

He confirmed to me that it was in fact our busiest day over this winter. There were more people than usual, and in fact it was not easy day for our guide, or dogs, which might have left the feeling of being disorganised. Please know that since that day we have made some operational changes to avoid that type of situation.

It happens sometimes that dogs bite one another. Some are territorial and there is a heirarchy in the team. In case of minor injury, the dog is often able to

continue running without suffering. A complete examination is always done after

the run. In case of major injury, the dog would have been removed immediately

from the line and someone would have been dispatched to pick him up by

snowmobile.

We truly understand your point of view as we are also dog lovers. We adhere to all safety and security measures put in place by the government (MAPAQ) and we are also active members of Adventure Ecotourisme Québec- which means that we are committed to respecting high standards of safety and security and proven safety measures, using high quality equipment, maintaining adequate liability insurance and hiring competent and passionate guides.

Comments: Our operator, Matthew, was incredibly engaging, welcoming, and informed. He taught us a lot about dogsledding based on his many years of experience. I would have preferred a more rigorous course, so next time would pick one of the other companies that require I bit more physical activity.
