Our Dogsledding - Initiation for kids activity is a great way for your kids to discover the world of dogledding and the life of our dog athletes.
Consult our What to wear information page.
These dogs are canine athletes who are bred to pull and run in a cold environment. They are trained and fed properly to be able to do it well. They like pulling a sled as much as a retriever likes fetching a stick. This will become obvious just before the ride starts. Feel free to ask your guide anything you want about sled dogs… learning about the dogs is an interesting part of the experience.
This activity can be strenuous for drivers. As a driver you are part of the team, so when the climbs are steep the driver will have to get off and walk, jog or even help push the sled.
Your kids will be greeted on site and will assist to a training as for handling the sleds, the equipment, the dogs and care.
The trail is a loop of 200m to 2km and it will be set upon childs habilities. Our guide will be in its own sleg leading the way in front of the group.
The activity's duration is 45 min on the trail, depending on the childs. At the end of the ride, they will have the chance to have quality time with the dogs by feeding them soup (1-2 dogs per children).
At the end of your dogsled tour, you will have the chance to visit our kennel and warm up next to a camp fire. You will also be able to crazy carpet on our sliding slopes!
