Activity description

Discover sled dogs on the Saguenay Fjord from Sacré-Coeur near Tadoussac in Quebec!

The Ferme 5 Étoiles Vacation Centre offers you the opportunity to try the ultimate Canadian activity by discovering sled dogs, also called dog sledding in Quebec, and to live a unique experience in direct contact with the fauna and flora of the Saguenay Fjord.

Discover the trails specially designed for sled dogs on the shores of the majestic Saguenay Fjord, 15 minutes from Tadoussac and 1 hour from Saguenay! This region of Quebec is known for its rich nature and its wide open spaces covered with snow in winter.

First of all, you will meet the experienced mushers who will share with you their knowledge of the incredible discipline of sled dogs. Then they will introduce you to your husky team, eager to go for a ride! Then you will leave for an authentic and exotic escapade near the Saguenay Fjord National Park!

You can choose between two hikes:

- A one-hour discovery hike, for the whole family, where you learn all aspects of the activity in typical Quebec landscapes.

- Or, for those who wonder how to drive the sled dogs: for half a day, you learn how to drive it yourself, then go for a 2-hour ride in the snowy and mountainous landscapes of the Saguenay Fjord and the Tadoussac region.

So don't hesitate, join the adventure for an unforgettable dog sledding experience, and above all, a must during your stay in Quebec!
