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.

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!

This was by far the most amazing thing I have ever done in my life. Being an extreme dog lover, especially huskies, I could never ask for a better way to spend my day in this beautiful country. The guides are extremely nice people, especially Olivier. The activity will start by meeting your dogs (team) then harnessing them, and finally learning how to be the leader of your team and driving the sledge (very important to learn how to brake :)). We covered a distance of approximately 10km, stopping for some cookies and hot chocolate midway in a beautiful cabin in the middle of canadian wonderland! At the end you get the chance to cuddle the little lovely husky puppies. Beautiful, beautiful beautiful. I definitely would do it again and again and would certainly recommend it to anyone visiting canada. The best money I ever spent.
Thank you expedition wolf for giving me this unforgettable gorgeous day that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Dog sledding is fun. We've been a number of times in Tremblant, but first time with Expedition Wolf. I have to say I was expecting more, especially with the good snow conditions. The dogs were not very active and I think it was because they were not as keen as usual because the season is at its peak and they are getting plenty of runs. The people were generally okay apart from one lady who made fun of my son in French about some silly hand warmers, quite rude really. Also, we were told to show up at 9:00am sharp but nothing happened until 9:45 which really cut into to our sledding time. The guy on the phone gave good directions, but I would recommend one of the other dog sledding companies over Expedition Wolf until they get their customer service right.

Met at the pedestrian village we were taken a 40 minute drive to the location of Expedition Wolf. Treated in a boot camp like manner, we crossed the road to the enclosure where the dogs were kept.
Greeted by several guides, we were given instruction on how to handle the dogs and how to drive the sled. We each collected a lead, went into the enclosure and retrieved a dog. We took back to the guides who would harness up the dog before attatching to the sled. The dogs were very excited and were jumping around and barking loads, they obviously lived and breathed for the sled rides. We repeated this until all the sleds had 6 dogs attached.
The sledding itself was really cold, despite the passenger having a warm blanket, wrap up warm. It was also rather smelly - so don't go on a hangover!
Half way round the route we stopped in a cosy cabin for wattery hot chocolate and a cookie. After warming up we heading back out to the excitible dogs and continued the rest of the route, with the opportunity to change driver once the dogs weren't as hyper from the break.
On return to the enclosure we got to give a treat to our team of dogs, before the guides took them off the harnesses and we lead them back to their base.
We then got to visit and have a cuddle with the puppies before heading back to the main lodge for a cold buffet - consisting of 2 types of sandwiches, carrots, celery, muffins and the choice of juice, tea or coffee.
We were then loaded on to the mini van and taken back to the pedestrain village.
The staff were friendly, helpful and made everything safe. The dogs were all referred to by name and beautifully trained.
This was truly an experience to remember - despite the smells, cold and noise on arrival of the dogs - it makes for a good half day adventure...just remember to wrap up warm!

Had thought about doing one of these dog sledding experiences for a while, what with my wife being a massive dog lover, so finally took the plunge and booked it for our next trip to Quebec. At around C$150 per person quite expensive for a 2 hour experience but if you love dogs and huskies especially it will be worth every penny. After registering/completing health questionnaire it was over the road to see the dogs. This is where the it all really begins as you approach them the howling starts - they are obviously desperate to get going with their pulling. We were tasked with taking each dog individually from their area to the sleds for harnessing - as soon as they realised that was taking place the volume of excited howling went up several notches. Then a little instruction on how to ride a sled, and off we went. A new experience for us, must say it was a lot of fun, especially watching the dogs in front pulling us - the 2 in the lead very obedient, the ones behind managing to poo and pee WHILE running so we got a good sight of that! One thing I didn't realise is that when you're going uphill you need to give the dogs a bit of a hand - i.e. walk or run alongside the sled while pushing - so actually this is quite a strenuous activity for the person driving. Less so for the wife who enjoyed it from the comfort of a blanket in the sitting part of the sled. After a hot chocolate just after the midway point we did swap thank goodness so I got a bit of a break. At the end of the sledding we gave each dog in our team a treat to say thank you with of course plenty of cuddles, then we took each dog back to their own area for un-harnessing etc. We were then able to visit to kennel area to say hello the the beautiful and super-friendly dogs - 230 + in all - and hang out with the somewhat boisterous 4 month old puppies in residence. To say these dogs like humans really is the understatement of the century - my wife could probably have stayed there the rest of the day and possibly swapped me for one of the many huskies she gave plenty of cuddles to….In all a cracking morning, pricey but great fun and a must for canine lovers……..

this is a must do. Dog sledding in general is pricy, but Expedition wolf is well worth the price. Vincent was an amazing guide as well as the rest of the staff. you get to help harness the dogs, drive the sleds and everything else. Vincent shared so much knowledge and was great with our kids (who also got to drive). The guides who have worked other places said Expedition is the one place that takes excellent care of their dogs and it showed. they were all very clean, well fed and they had thousands of pictures of them in albums around the main lodge. you could tell this is not just a business but a passion for them.

We booked this excursion from Mont Tremblant activity center & were picked up on time by friendly Stefan. When we arrived at the 'farm' we all worked together to harness up the powerful & excited dogs to the sleds. The staff were great & knew every dog by name.
We were instructed on how to drive the sled & the dogs before setting off through the forest. It was an exciting & picturesque experience.
It was not cheap for our family of 4 but well worth the money.

I was impressed by how sweet and happy all the dogs were. The staff care for them so well and treat them like family (they have about 250+ dogs, including 120+ rescues.) Again, the dogs are all happy and very social! The ride was a lot of fun and I highly recommend it! We also got to hold some adorable puppies :) :) :)

We live in Montreal and recently had family staying from NZ. Dog sledding was on my brother's bucket list and Expedition Wolf met the challenge. The guides were incredibly helpful and friendly and we particularly appreciated how they included those of us who were there just as onlookers in the whole thing. They also had lots of interesting things to say about the dogs. The whole thing felt like a very unique experience and whilst it is expensive, I would say we all found it very worthwhile. Would highly recommend this outfit.

I'd like to ask the same question as the previous post please - what was the cost for this activity? Thank you
Written November 11, 2016
Hi. I called a few weeks ago for a price for an outing in December and was told it was $134/pp. (price for adults, I didn't ask about children) It's a pretty standard price I've found.
Written December 7, 2016
How much was it? I cannot find pricing on their site.
