I'm in Québec with my family for a few days for the Holiday season and decided to book the dog sledding experience on a whim. We got lucky. They had a cancellation (don't count on it, book well ahead), we jumped at the opportunity and had a blast! What a cheerful and helpful crew, and the experience was fantastic. It's not a staff-driven sled where you sit back and relax. No, you get to drive the sled yourself, control the dog team and all. Breaking is super hard, especially if you're small built - it will take all your might. I heard it was tougher today because of the shallow snow and ice buildup. Worth every penny though, I would highly recommend it and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Best experience my girls had in our visit to Québec in their own words. Shoutout to Leandre (?) who was super outgoing and helpful. Oh, and BTW, the dogs are not mistreated at all. You can see that by how they enjoy human affection and by how incredibly eager they are to run - they can barely be stopped. They are treated properly as the sled dogs they are. Most negative reviews here seem to me to come from people who would have animals live like couch potato lapdogs. These dogs are strong work animals who absolutely thrive in winter and pulling a sled.

Nice place, kind staff, best puppies. Highly recommended! Have an unforgettable memory there!
Well run, great scenery and thoroughly enjoyable for our family. It totally exceeded our expectations. We took our 4 year old and 18month old and they loved it. Thank you to the staff and dogs!
We booked online - be sure to book in advance because they are popular. We drove ourselves and arrived 45 minutes before our appointment. They recommend arriving 30 minutes early. Because of the snow our car could not make it up the drive but we parked on the street. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We did not rent any extra clothing but you can if you want (they have plenty of cold weather gear.) the staff explains how to steer the dog sleds etc and then you start. It was a beautiful ride - cold, clear, and snowy. We had a blast. the dogs are amazing - friendly and cute. The staff follows on snow mobiles to make sure everything is okay with the dogs. After the dog sled trip through the woods, you can visit the puppy kennels. It was an experience of a lifetime. I would definitely recommend mi loup
Amazing experience! Visiting the puppies at the end of the sledding trip was the cherry on top! Only downside was that I was alone on my sled therefore it was very easy for the dogs to pull me, and were therefore going faster than all other sleds, but I was not in front so we kept bumping into the sled in front. If you know you're going to be alone on the sled, I recommend asking to be on the first sled so that you don't have to keep your foot on the break to slow the dogs down.
