Dog Sledding Excursion in Quebec City, near Lac-Beauport

Glide through snow-covered forests on a 30-minute dog sled ride led by professional mushers. Perfect for thrill-seekers in search of an authentic winter activity, this outing invites you to discover the magical atmosphere of the Lac-Beauport – a peaceful retreat just 25 minutes from downtown Québec City.

Upon arrival, you’ll meet Tony and Mike, two passionate and experienced brothers who founded their small family business with one goal in mind: to offer genuine dog sledding adventures that put animal welfare first. Their pack of around 30 dogs is deliberately kept small so they can provide the best possible care to each one. Most of the dogs are Alaskans crossed with other northern breeds such as Greenland Huskies and Malamutes and every Monday they enjoy a full day off, just like real athletes! After meeting the dogs and helping to prepare your sled, you’ll head off into the beautiful forests of the Lac-Beauport – either as a passenger or as the driver of your own team. Watch as the snow-laden pines and mountain scenery unfold before your eyes!

Short but intense, this 30-minute ride offers a true taste of adventure. You’ll breathe in the crisp forest air and may even reach speeds of up to 15 km/h. For your comfort and safety, each outing includes a maximum of six sleds: two driven by professional mushers and four entirely reserved for participants (two people per sled: one driver and one passenger). This small-group setup ensures a safe, friendly and personalised experience of dog sledding in Québec City. On your return to the kennel, you'll take a moment to chat with the mushers and share a few cuddles with the dogs.

If you’re looking for a memorable winter activity in Québec City, don’t miss this invigorating morning outing at the Lac-Beauport. Whether you’re behind the reins or simply enjoying the ride, you’ll experience the pure freedom of dog sledding in a setting straight out of a Christmas film!
