Dog Sledding · Tadoussac
How to choose
Outings depart from Sacré-Coeur near the Saguenay Fjord, rather than Tadoussac itself. Four options are available, though two distinct formats exist alongside classic sledding: a 1.5-hour kennel visit and a 2.5-hour hike on foot with sled dogs. Genuine sledding tours range from 140 € to 165 €, with each outing lasting between 1.5h to 2h45. All sledding experiences carry an “Everybody welcome” physical rating, whereas the walking hike requires an “Occasionally sporty” level. Single-operator departures by Centre de vacances Ferme 5 Étoiles run in both English and French. One sledding tour specifically offers a self-drive experience for 140 €. If you want to steer your own team across the trails, book the self-drive option, but choose the discovery package if you prefer a passenger outing.
