Dog sledding in Quebec: the winter adventure to live at least once

Our suggestions

Love winter activities and dogs? Dog sledding is the quintessential Quebec winter experience: driving your own team of huskies through a snowy forest, or being guided along, bundled up with the kids under the blanket. This guide brings together the places to go dog sledding in Quebec, from the family kennel to multi-day expeditions, each with the venue’s listing, packages and rates.

Good to know: most kennels offer short rides (30 to 60 minutes) suited to young children, who sit in the sled with a parent; driving the team is generally reserved for ages 12 and up. Book several weeks ahead for spring break and the holidays, and dress warmer than for a day of skiing, you don’t move much in a sled.
