Dog Sled Tours

Open your eyes to the beauty of Big White’s pristine back country with our dog sled tours. This is an experience like no other!

Details:

Our tour operator Tim will begin with an orientation introducing you to the dogs, the sled and the process of harnessing - Before heading out on the trails in Big White's beautiful back country!

The trail is approximately 3 miles long and the time spent on the sled will vary from 20 to 40 minutes depending on snow, weather and trail conditions.

Once you have returned, the team of dog will be unharnessed and you will have the opportunity to spend some time with the dogs - Tim will encourage you to participate as much as desired in the tour.
