Dog Sledding: Snow, Dogs, and Forest Make an Authentic Adventure
Dog sledding is one of Canada’s most iconic winter experiences. Once used by the Inuit and explorers to transport goods and people across snowy landscapes, it is now a unique way to experience winter and connect with nature.
Guided tours begin in the heart of a silent forest, blanketed in pristine snow. The eager barks of northern dogs echo through the trees. Before departure, guides explain the role of each dog, the functioning of the sled, and essential driving and braking techniques. Learning is interactive: balance, anticipation, and coordination are all crucial to mastering the sled.
Once on the trail, the experience fully engages the senses. Snow crunches under the sled and the steady breathing of the dogs sets the rhythm, powered by their strength and energy. Depending on the chosen route, the trail winds through valleys and forests, alternating steep climbs, fast descents, and tight turns that challenge balance and attentiveness. The guide remains close, adjusting speed and intervening when needed, providing the perfect mix of adrenaline and safety.
At the return, a calm settles over the forest. Dogs rest while participants take the time to meet them, interact with the guides, and gain a deeper appreciation for a tradition deeply rooted in Canadian history.
