Day 1 - Montreal /Mauricie
Get ready for some action! For those wishing to experience the raw energy of nature, nothing compares to a dog sledding adventure in the wild territories of the Saint-Maurice Wildlife Reserve. You’ll find here the very essence of the Mauricie, a land of pioneers, log drivers and voyagers! This protected area stretches over 784 km2 and features 245 lakes and several rivers. In winter you can observe Moose, deer, beavers and wolves. You will be carried by our powerful hounds while catching a glimpse of the ever changing landscapes as you glide across the winter wonderland. Your musher (guide) will teach you the art of harnessing the huskies and you will have the opportunity to ride your own sled. At midday, you will also enjoy a tasteful meal cooked over a campfire. An itinerary featuring frozen lakes and rivers will then lead you to your cozy rustic cottage where you’ll spend the night in the heart of the Canadian forest, completely isolated from the rest of the civilization!

Day 2 - Mauricie
Continue on your dogsled journey through this incredibly tranquil wilderness. Only the hissing of the sled runners over the snow or the occasional cry of a tenacious wildfowl will interrupt the quietness of this vast, dense forest. After a fireside lunch, we will then return to the trail in order to discover further peaceful realms, those small, secluded spots whose existence is known only by the woodsmen and the mushers… Night in a cozy rustic Cottage.

Day 3 – Mauricie / Montreal
Some quick preparations and we are at last ready for a new day, exploring the magnificent white countryside. Having whetted our appetites on grandiose panoramas, we stop for lunch before once more dashing off through these picture-perfect landscapes. It’s then time to return to the kennel where you’ll say goodbye to your dogs. Back at the Adventure Center at the end of the day, you’ll take advantage of a farewell dinner.
