Dogsledding - Upper Laurentians

Our Dogsledding in the Upper Laurentians is located 50 minutes from Tremblant resort in the Laurentian forest. This is for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone looking to experience mushing with Nordic dogs. 

We offer several dog sledding options in the area, see our Dogsled Comparison Table.

Our Dogsledding – Upper Laurentians takes place in the Laurentien forest north of Mont-Tremblant, where you’ll ride on trails through the mountains and wilderness. The experience rides from December through March, depending on snow conditions.

When you arrive, our guides will greet you and provide a safety briefing. Then you’ll head out for a 1-hour ride on the trails. We adapt the route based on the group – we have trails with varied terrain and others that are more relaxed. Depending on weather conditions, you might ride near a lake or pass through areas where beavers live. We guarantee one guide per sled at all times, and our guides will share information about the surrounding wilderness during your ride.

If you want to ride together as a family, choose one of our “family”  options to ensure you’re on the same sled.

After your ride, you’ll visit our kennel where you can meet more of our Nordic dogs. You can warm up by the campfire and try crazy carpeting on our toboggan slopes.

The experience requires moderate physical effort. You’ll be sitting as a passenger or standing on the runners as a driver, and you’ll need to help steer and brake the sled. Dogsledding is a sport, so participants will be active during the ride.

Who is this for

Our dogsledding is for beginners to intermediate participants. You don’t need any previous experience with dogsledding. It requires moderate physical effort for drivers who will be active during the ride, helping to steer and brake the sled. Drivers need to be comfortable standing on the runners and leaning into turns. Passengers will sit in the sled under a blanket.
