Activity description
Discover the authentic adventure of dog sledding the Canadian way during a night ride in Saint Liguori, 1 hour from Montreal!
The Aventures Liguoriennes team, passionate about dog sledding for more than 15 years, offers you a warm welcome and an introduction to night sledding for an unforgettable and unusual experience.
Once at the kennel, your guide will introduce you to the pack and give you a training on the techniques of driving and preparation of your sled. Equipped with warm clothes and a headlamp, you will be ready to follow the guide and travel the beautiful snowy forest trails at night with true canine athletes! You will set off at sunset to admire the natural spectacle of the changing colours of the sky at nightfall. On the way back, you will enjoy a special moment of play with the dogs and puppies over a hot drink!
During your night walk, you can enjoy the sky, without light or air pollution, and observe the twinkling stars and the moon. A magical 1.5 to 2 hour experience that will take you through the Canadian plains and forests. The extensive and well-maintained trails make the walk accessible to anyone in good physical condition.
