It was awesome from the beginning to end. Harnessing the dogs, the ride itself, hot chocolate on the way, the picturesque forest. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Afterwards we got to see the puppies who were very sweet. Everyone at Expedition Wolf was friendly and helpful. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to the Mont Tremblant area.
My wife and I came here during our honeymoon to dog sled for the first time. I have to commend the individuals running Expedition Wolf because it was an amazing experience. They really immerse you into the lives of the dogs and how sledding keeps them active and happy. The staff have everyone participating help with taking the dogs out to the sleds. They tell you their name and let you take the dogs to their respective sleds. The experience is lots of fun and well run. They have a break in between sledding with hot cocoa so that you don't get too cold. Highly recommended if you are in the area.
A friend set up our sledding experience through the activities center at Mont Tremblant. I've been wanting to go dog sledding since I moved to Quebec, but was always a little wary of which company to choose. I can recommend Expedition Wolf with 100% confidence. Their dogs are obviously well cared for and happy. I was impressed with the attitude, knowledge and passion of all the guides, who were especially helpful with my friend's 4-year-old twins. Olivier is a gem. It is worth noting that this is a hands-on activity - you do "drive" the sled yourself so if that's not ok make sure you tell them when you book it. However don't be scared and just do it, you won't regret it! Also there is a 25 min. drive from Mont Tremblant to the site - from beginning to end it took a little over 4 hours. The cost is a great value when you consider the time and professionalism of this operation. Highly recommend. Thank you Expedition Wolf!
On a recent ski vacation to Mt. Tremblant we took a morning to go dog sledding with Expedition Wolf, and we are ecstatic that we did so! The excursion was booked through the Activity Center right in the Mt. Tremblant village and from start to finish it was a great experience! Expedition Wolf has over 250 dogs who are obviously loved and well cared for. They have taken in many local dogs that were abused, abandoned or whatever but most of their pack are husky's and they ALL love to RUN! One of the fascinating parts of the experience is that you actually help get the teams ready to go. The guides carefully select each dog and team them up and then hand them, on a leash, one by one to the participants who then lead the dogs to their respective sleds. Oh my gosh are these dogs strong! As one of the bigger men in our group (I'm 6'1" and about 200#) I was consistently handed the rear or "pulling" dogs and they about yanked me out of my boots! The dogs couldn't wait to get started and were all yelping, tugging and barking with excitement, thank goodness the sleds are chained to a fence post prior to launch! Then, with chains released and a simple "Hup!" we were off and running. The trail, which takes about an hour or so, meanders through a beautiful pine forest, up and down gentle hills and past ravines, streams and glades. It was an absolutely delightful experience and we thoroughly enjoyed the dogs, the scenery and overall experience! If you are in the area and want a once in a lifetime experience I couldn't recommend this any more highly. Mush!
Expedition Wolf is awesome! This is a great hands on, rugged experience you have got to try. The guides were wonderful and the dogs are so fun and energetic. It's about 25 minutes away from Tremblant Village, but you are driven to the location in a school bus by one of the guides. Our guide, Olivier, was a sweetheart. Very knowledgeable about the Tremblant area and played awesome music, which made the ride go by fast. The guides are very comfortable with you being hands on with the dogs, both in preparing them for the ride and in leading them yourself out in the woods. You can request a guide to ride with you, but I would highly recommend leading the team of dogs on your own. It's such a rush and the dogs listen really well to the commands you give. I went with my boyfriend and we had an utter blast both driving and riding and seeing the different personalities of the dogs on our team along the way. You are also given a snack halfway on the trip and are provided lunch at the end of the activity, which is a plus! The staff take great care of these dogs, many of them rescue dogs, and make sure your experience is as best as it can possibly be. I would do this again in a heart beat!
We absolutely loved this experience. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable, the dogs were clearly happy and well cared-for, and it was great fun helping harness the dogs and drive the sled. The route through the woods is very scenic. In addition to the actual dog sledding, there is plenty of time to pet the dogs and we even got to cuddle some puppies! The break in the middle of the sledding was great for warming up a bit, and they offer hot soup and coffee after you're done, which was a nice way to end the experience. I absolutely recommend them!
We took the time to enjoy some dog sledding with Expedition Wolf and had an amazing time. The staff were wonderful, the dogs amazing and well cared for. It was a couple of hours of sheer FUN!! They include you in the harnessing of the dogs and let you drive the team if you are comfortable with that. The dogs are well-behaved and a joy to be around. I can't imagine that there is a better company to do this with.
Our dog sledding trip with Expedition Wolf was one of the highlights of our trip to Mont Tremblant! The guides are extremely friendly and warm and genuinely want their guests to have a great time. The dogs are extremely friendly to people and it is clear that they are very well cared for by the staff. They explain that they frequently take in rescue dogs to become part of their teams, and also have several 'retired' dogs that live in the main office, which shows their dedication to the dogs. The sled ride itself is very scenic and through a trail in the woods - like something right out of a book. I can't recommend this trip enough it is a such a unique experience!!!
Initially we hesitated at the cost of this as a family trip while holidaying in the area. It was money very very well spent. We had a fantastic time from the moment we arrived - the staff were very welcoming and being given the chance to meet some of the huskies while we waited for other guests to arrive was a fantastic experience. The sight of so many dogs, clearly lovingly looked after, and their friendly reaction was a delight. Helping set up the sled by taking the dogs from their kennel to the sled, let alone the ride itself was an experience we would struggle to have elsewhere. Riding the sled (in couples) was fantastic fun and a surprisingly good workout going up hill! Our 2 11 year old boys were allowed their own sled (with a guide) while our daughter got to ride at the front as a passenger in her own sled. All in all a great morning out and money very well spent.
This place was amazing, from guides to every worker and their dogs. The owner was charming and you could tell she loves her animals. It was a truly remarkable experience for all of us. Would definitely recommend and go back in a heart beat!
