Dog Sledding · Gaspesie
How to choose
Two distinct experiences are available in the Matapedia Valley through Fournier Plein Air, both running from November to March and rated “Everybody welcome”. One option is a 1-hour kennel visit priced at 7 €, which focuses entirely on meeting the huskies on site without any sledding ride. The actual dog sledding outing costs 111 € and spans from 2.5h to a full day, taking you out across the Gaspésie trails. Both options run in English and French from the same base in Saint-Vianney. If you want to spend time around the pack without travelling on the runners, pick the shorter kennel tour, but choose the 111 € excursion if you want a complete sledding run across the valley.
