Of the 5 days we spent in Mont Tremblant and all of the amazing things we did, this was by far the…read morebest part of our vacation. We loved every second of our time spent with the staff (and dogs!) at Expedition Wolf. Besides getting to play in the snow with dogs for a couples hours, the staff is so wonderful, knowledgeable, patient, and friendly.. and that makes all the difference! My husband is not easily impressed, but I could not (and still cant!) get him to stop raving about how much fun he had doing this. It's about a 20-30 min drive from the hotels around the Pedestrian Village (we stayed at the Fairmont), but fear not by fellow yelpers, they will pick you up at your hotel and drive you round trip, complimentary! Taking a camera is a MUST, however they have a photographer who snaps lots of photos and takes some video as well, and before you leave will put together a DVD for you to purchase so you can have all of the pictures videos taken of you.. they literally take the time to separate each individual or couple and sort through the pictures, so that your disc has pictures of you, and not total strangers on it. So nice! They also offer you some yummy snacks afterwards to hold you over until you return to your hotel- things like hot soup, cookies, lemonade, etc. One thing I will suggest is that you use the bathroom before you leave your hotel, because while they do offer one, they only offer ONE. The entire process is so memorable. You are able to help harness up the dogs, and while this part can be a little hard (not recommended for the little ones), it's cool to learn the dogs' names, ages, backgrounds, and help out! The dogs are SUPER excited when you start.. I mean, it's like 250 kids on Christmas morning all opening presents at the same time, kind of excited.. it's so cool! They obviously love what they do! Basically, I could go on and on and on and on about this, because there arent enough good things to say, so I'll just leave you with this- PLEASE, if you find yourself in Mont-tremblant, do this! You will not regret it, I assure you!

Unique to Laurel Adventure, if you book a dogsledding trip, you will get a sled and dogs for each…read moreindividual person. Many of the other dogsledding companies ask two people to share a sled and take turns. Laurel's sleds are smaller and you get three dogs instead of larger with six dogs, but this way each person has a very engaging experience. The owner, Arlene, has perfect English and teaches the basics thoroughly. The guides' English on the trails are worse but still sufficient. Plus, it's fairly self-explanatory with hand signal anyway. Laurel does an awesome job orchestrating the experience and I would highly recommend this place over the competition. As a bonus, Arlene says all the dogs are adopted/rescues!

Ziptrek Ecotours was an absolute great experience. We did a zip-line tour in Mont Tremblant. The…read morestaff were very kind, friendly and knowledgeable. While French is their first language, they also speak English. If you do not speak French, be courteous and let them know you speak English. Before you get on the lift, the guides group together and prep you with gear and provide a thorough explanation. We felt safe riding the zip line. The tours are small groups of 10 - 15 with 3 guides. There is communication between the guides on each zip and they check and ensure you are locked in correctly and your straps are where they should be. We rented a go pro for $10CA. Video quality was great. If you are staying in the Pedestrian Village, it is a short 5 min walk from the hotels. A couple of hotels to mention are Fairmont, Hilton Homewood Suites. In my opinion, the price is fair, in USD about $150 per person, 3 hour.

We had so much fun and of course adrenaline rush at Ziptrek Ecotours. We chose the 3-hour (longer)…read moreroute which included the gondola ride to first station, 5 zip lines and 3 hikes (2 hikes between stations and 1 hike at the end to get back to the start point). We also had forgot to bring our GoPro, so we rented one for $40+taxes. The nice thing about renting the GoPro was that they donate a portion of the money to the organization of your choice (amongst 4 they have pre-picked). Our guides were very friendly and patient with everyone. In our group we had variety of ages (8+); so, they explained every step carefully and let us enjoy. The second zip line is the scariest one and the best one in my point of view. But all the zip lines were fun in different ways, some had better views, some were longer. You could sit, go upside down or hug your knees. At the end, I wished we had more zip lines left and it wouldn't have been over.

If you're even slightly considering on going dog sledding, just do it!…read more 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.

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!

I'm not a hiker nor have I ever claimed to be one I do my cardio and weights at the gym but let me tell you this trail was so steep for the first 45 minutes I thought I was gonna fall over lol. We started off at the side where all the Coca Cola chairs are and decided this was the fastest way home. It was a great hike down a lot to see the view is gorgeous of course, and there was a little stream so we could freshen up. It took about 1.5 hours down really wasn't that bad and I would do it again. The lady at the ticket booth really doubted us wasn't friendly at all but that didn't stop us from going up and hiking back down like. Champions. She said 2.5 hours but we cut that in half because we the best lol. I suggest to anyone to hike down the ski side and not follow the foot trail it'll take longer and who has time for that ?

If you are facing the Gondola Lift follow trail to the left of the gondola. Different degrees of difficulty along the way en route to the top of the mountain, and you can decide where you want to stop. The waterfalls are right at the start, but about half way up the trail - you will also have a great view of the area and great spot for a picnic. Enjoy, and remember mosquito repellent, good hiking shoes, and water.
