Just a few minutes from Tremblant resort, come experience a rare, and truly authentic Canadian winter activity…dogsledding. Our Tremblant dog sledding tour starts as soon as you are greeted at the kennel by our 30 excited dogs. The moment you arrive at our kennel, you’ll understand why dogsledding captivates people. Thirty dogs start barking and jumping with excitement—they know what’s coming, and their enthusiasm is contagious.
Before the dog sled departure, 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. Adults will be teamed up for the dogsledding excursion: there will be 1 driver and 1 or 2 passengers per sled. Adults will usually, but not always, drive their own dog sled with an adult passenger. Passengers and drivers from the same sled 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.
You need to know that dogsledding is a sport. You’ll be standing, running alongside your sled, shifting your weight through turns, and using the brake to control speed. It’s not a passive ride—you’re part of the team. Our guides explain everything during the safety briefing, including how to communicate with your dogs.
When your group is ready and everyone has their spots on the sleds, you’ll get a short safety briefing to learn how to command the dogs for your dogsledding adventure. Then you’re off into the trails!
You’ll drive your dog sled through valley trails near Mont-Tremblant, surrounded by a pine forest and stunning views of the mountain. The dogsledding tour passes through fields and forest several times. We’re n the trail for about 1 hour.
