Activity description

Take advantage of the winter season to learn dog sledding in Saint-Siméon, Quebec!

Passionate about this team sport between man and dog, the Bosco Charlevoix guides invite you to come and meet their sled dogs and enjoy either a ride as a passenger on the sled, or an introduction to the sport of driving the sled for around 1 hour. Through their territory in Saint-Siméon, at the crossroads linking Charlevoix to Quebec's North Shore and the Saguenay, you'll have the pleasure of experiencing the thrill of a snow-covered landscape. Between meanders, forest and tundra, you'll travel many trails with the help of a team of energetic sled dogs!

As the Bosco Charlevoix team attaches great importance to the well-being of their 4-legged companions, you'll be able to observe their dogs exercising freely in the large park built especially for them around their kennel. With a total of 25 sled dogs, you'll enjoy an incredible experience in a small group in the heart of Saint-Siméon's snow-covered countryside! It's up to you to decide whether you'd rather be a passenger in the sled driven by an experienced guide who's close to his dogs, or whether you'd like to try your hand at driving this lively team!

Dog sledding in Charlevoix is a real must-do in Quebec during the winter! Accessible to anyone in good physical condition, this activity is a fun way to spend time with family and friends.

Whether you're a dog lover, a nature lover or simply a thrill-seeker, discovering dog sledding in Saint-Siméon, Quebec is sure to be an extraordinary experience!

I never expected to have so much fun dog sledding. I thought that it would be just handling the dogs in a small, very controlled area, but you actually get to drive a dog sled in the woods for hours. Going into it, I was also intimidated by what I expected the skills needed to handle a dog sled, but Antoine's instructions were so thorough that I was confident to take control when it was time to hit the trails. Instructions are given in both English and French. It went by too fast, and I am so happy that we did it. The most surprising element was how much interaction you have with the pooches. I though that they may be like service dogs, and human interaction would be limited. But the dogs are all really loving, and if you love dogs, it was so much fun hanging out with them and getting to see their personalities.

Une rencontre en premier lieu avec les chiens que l'on découvre câlins et plein de vie, confiants en l'homme ( ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas...). Puis avec Antoine et Roxanne, deux adorables québécois qui sont dans le partage, la transmission et l'amour de ce qu'ils ont, à savoir les chiens.

  • 5 / 5

Geniale. 2 amoureux des chiens extraordinaires. Les chiens viennent chercher les calins et sont lâchés dans un parc après la balade. Pas de bagarre, aucun ne cherche à s échapper. Le soucis du bien être animal se retrouve même dans l'origine de leur nourriture. Des chiens et des clients heureux.

Dans un cadre magnifique, nous avons pu profiter d’excellentes conditions de glisse pour nous initier au chiens de traîneau. Les sensations et l’interaction avec les chiens sont vraiment top !

Extraordinaire ! Nous n’avons pas les mots pour décrire cette parenthèse de bonheur que nous avons partagée avec les chiens, Roxanne et Antoine !

  • 5 / 5

L’accueil est impeccable, les guides sont dévoués et attentifs et les chiens amicaux. Les chiens sont heureux et vivent dans de très bonnes conditions. Les pistes sont très bien entretenues.
