If you're even slightly considering on going dog sledding, just do it! Dog sledding was something thats been on my bucket list so for our trip to Quebec, we decided to look up several spots. Alaskan Adventure seemed promising and is located near Mont Tremblant which was about 1.5 hours from Montreal. They offer two packages, one that includes transportation and one without. The transportation option is an additional fee that provides pick up and drop off to the Mont Tremblant resort area but I'm not exactly sure how that works since we drove there ourselves. The team at Alaskan Adventure were extremely welcoming, fun, and professional. You can tell that they are truly passionate and love what they do. The pack consists of 60+ dogs that are all well cared for. The dogs looked very healthy and happy, are well trained, super friendly, and ready to run. Your adventure starts with an introduction on how to drive the sled, then you'll help harness the dogs and off you go for the one hour ride. Halfway through, you'll get a break for the dogs to rest and for you to enjoy some hot chocolate and cookies inside a little cabin. You are able to play with the dogs and take plenty of pictures during this time as well. This is your chance to switch drivers! When you arrive back to the kennel, you get to reward the dogs with some treats and are able to meet the rest of the pack. If you're lucky, they might even have some pups for you to play with! We got to meet 5 month old Eclipse and Misty this season. You get to stick around the kennel for as long as you'd like and then head back to the main lodge where warm soup is served. During this time, you get to see all the pictures and videos their photographer took during your adventure. Here are some things to know: 1. If you book the 3:30pm slot, the dogs would already be harnessed and ready to go to ensure that you'll have enough time for the entire activity before sunset. We didn't know this prior to booking but that was okay with us and appreciated that Sonia quickly reached out via email to let us know. She was also very responsive to any additional questions we had. 2. You have the opportunity to purchase the photos/videos taken during your adventure for CA$50, which I think you should because they take lots of nice pictures of you to keep for memories. Their photographer was on standby alongside different parts of the trail to capture your best moments. 3. Bring cash so you can tip your guides as well because they certainly deserve it! I'm not sure if they mention that but there's a tip box at the front check in desk where you can drop it in. 4. Lastly, be sure to dress warmly and bring out the snow pants, boots, and gloves. We were prepared but was told that they do have some spares if we needed it. We had an amazing time at Alaskan Adventure and have so many great things to say about our experience. The entire process from booking to sledding was a breeze. Sonia, Max, and the entire team (dogs included) were wonderful and I would HIGHLY recommend booking this excursion with them. It's the perfect winter activity thats fit for all ages and skill levels. read more

As a professional dog groomer, it is only natural that I found the only dog-themed activity to do in the mountains! The trip up the mountain and through the forestry to get to the meet-up location was a bit rough as it was our first time in the snow so give yourself plenty of time to make the drive and arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled reservation. My husband was unprepared for the weather, and Marjorie made sure to find him some good pants & boots to use during our adventure. Once we were ready to go, we met up with the rest of our group at the kennels. The dogs were super excited to see us and couldn't wait to get to their sleds. Once we arrived we were able to help run our dogs to our sleds and set them up in their harnesses. Each team was chosen specifically with the riders in mind. After a lesson on how to drive our sleds, we were off! The entire sled trip was an hour long, but it is split into two 30 minute runs to give you a chance to warm up and switch passengers/drivers if you'd like. The dogs seemed most happy while pulling their sleds. It really is an incredible thing to see working dogs doing what they were bred to do. It was obvious that the dogs were loved, happy, and well cared for. The owners, Max & Sonia, and the guides, Irkaël, Marjorie, & Nicolas knew each of their dogs very well (there were lots of them!) and who each dog did and didn't get along with, what they liked to do, etc. Overall this was an absolutely unforgettable, once in a life time experience. Thank you so so much to Max & Sonia for their dedication to the dog world and this beautiful sport of dog sledding. Oh, and thank you to our amazing team: BoomBoom, Tina, Zorro, Igap, Mathis, and Balto! read more

We couldn't have imagined how much fun this would be! If you're in the area, you absolutely need to book a dog sled tour with Alaskan Adventure - it will forever be one of our favorite memories as a family. The team at Alaskan Adv. made the whole experience so wonderful - we laughed a ton and learned a lot...the team treated us like family, just like they do the dogs! As dog lovers, we were so happy to see how the dogs get treated (like kings and queens!) and they LOVE doing the runs! The break halfway through the run was really appreciated as well, with homemade cookies and hot chocolate by the fire to warm up before finishing the run. After the run, we got to spend time playing with the dogs and the new husky puppies! Be sure to dress warm with toboggans (they supplied boots for our family members who didn't wear appropriate footwear, thank goodness!) and also consider purchasing the photos - we got hundreds of photos from the day and they're all fantastic. Thank you to Alaskan Adventures for an incredible day! We'll never forget it! read more

I truly don't even know where to start! My husband emailed the owners to try to book a reservation for dog sledding while we were in tremblant! They were booked up but fit us in on a Saturday afternoon, allowing us an experience of a lifetime!!!!! We pull into this place of business where one of the owners meets us at our Car to greet us... How nice is that to start?! We go inside where his wife greets us to ask how the wedding we attended was the night prior! Talk about paying attention to detail! Ok... This is getting long ;)! Anyway, long story long, this was the most wonderful experience! Going in we were concerned we would feel sad for the dogs pulling the sleds, but after seeing the beautiful life they lead, we were so pleased! We had a full experience where we were able to hook the dogs to the sleds, ride and drive on our own, saw the most beautiful Canadian landscapes, enjoyed hot chocolate by a fire halfway through, had a solid 30 minutes to play and pet all of the pups in their environment after, had many laughs and pictures taken, and so much more!! As we were leaving Max, one of the two owners, Walked us to our car and "secretly" handed us a usb drive filled with all of the pictures the on site photographer had taken ...for free! (We had opted out of purchasing it)! Max said "please enjoy, this is very important to me". Talk about amazing people! If you ever find yourself in Mont Tremblant in the winter- please don't pass up this amazing opportunity! read more

Alaskan Adventure - Sitting on the sled, waiting to take off where my Husband Ryan would do the driving for the first 30 mins! - Sledding Near Me - Arundel, Quebec

I have been to Tremblant three times in the last 7 years and my family and I just love Canada and the mountain during the winter, the skiing, the ambiance, the food, oh MY! Every time I have enjoyed the beautiful dogs and sledding adventure at Alaskan Adventure. I have been in contact with Sonia at Alaskan Adventure for some time. Today I called with a heavy heart to cancel my reservation because of this Pandemic. I live in the United States and though I'm sure many are not happy with the political climate in my country as I am, I have been grounded by the government as I work for the government. Sonia completely understood and gave me a full refund. This company is a shining beacon of moral decency during this horrific and most stressful time in our country and globally. I plan on returning to the mountain next ski season, god willing, and my 17 person crew plans on taking an Alaskan Adventure with Sonia's beautiful dogs and amazing service. Thank you for being you, Sonia. It is much appreciated. My family applauds you and your family business! read more

For the special event of your life....a once in a lifetime experience, with people that care about people and about animals, you WILL NOT find a better place to take your family, your romantic getaway, your team building group event than Alaskan Adventure Dog Sledding.. In this area there are highly commercialized events and activities like this. When you experience Alaskan Adventure, you'll know why you took the road less traveled. Conscious of pricing and family cost and everything that goes into fun, this family creates the real family bonding event. The dogs are beautiful and cared for, the people are the salt of the earth and volunteers and the experience is similar to hang gliding, mountain climbing, heli skiing, scuba diving etc in the pristine country that defines winter activities and then followed by great people to people connections. DO NOT deprive yourself of this thrill. I almost did and was wise enough to listen to the instructor you helped me see the light. Do it for your soul, do it for your kids, do it for your mate, do it because you may never get the chance, just Do it but make sure it you go to Alaskan Adventure with Max and Sonia read more

I was looking through google maps to see if I could remember where this place was. My husband and I enjoyed the most incredible experience of our lives - December 31, 1999. I don't know if it was called Alaskan Adventure back then. However, it was most fabulous. The scenery, the hot cocoa halfway as well as some song & dance routines by our guide/owner, the speed at which the dogs ran back home after the halfway stop, the breaks we would take to make sure everyone was doing well (and the dogs would jump in my sleeping bag to warm their feet), and everything in between. Do not pass up an opportunity to experience this. It's time for us to return. read more
