An exceptional experience with sled dogs from Travel Dog

Angélie and her pack of dogs are waiting to take you on an unforgettable adventure. Visit her husky kennel and let yourself be swept away on a dog-sled ride. Seated comfortably, you’ll be guided by the musher and her team of 8 to 12 dogs. The ride lasts 1 hour, during which you’ll enjoy the snow-covered landscapes and be amazed by how fast you’re moving. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can try your hand at mushing by driving your own sled, pulled by 3 or 4 dogs. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for a less action-packed option, snowshoeing with a dog will be perfect for you. Strapped to a husky with a padded harness, the dog will be your best companion on this long snowshoe hike.
