For 2.5 hours, share the daily life of sled dogs near Montreal outside the winter season by discovering cani-karting in Saint-Liguori!
If you are wondering how sled dogs train when there is no snow in Quebec, this activity is sure to interest you. The Aventures Liguoriennes team invites you to join them at their kennel to find out how their pack trains outside the winter season, and also to experience one of these training sessions for yourself by taking you on a cani-kart ride in Saint-Liguori!
In total, you will spend around 2.5 hours in the company of the sled dogs and a guide who will be delighted to share the pack's daily life with you outside the peak winter season. You will begin your immersion in the kennel where you will be able to chat with the guide and meet the canine athletes before the next stage of the adventure, the discovery of cani-karting in Saint-Liguori! The concept of this activity is identical to that of dog sledding, with the difference that it is carried out using a kart on wheels so that it can take place when there is no snow.
In pairs, you will take your place in the kart driven by the guide for at least 45 minutes of cani-karting through the Aventures Liguoriennes organic farm in Saint-Liguori. Breaks will be taken as soon as the dogs need to be hydrated, and you will return to the kennels after 45 minutes or more of riding (the duration will vary depending on the heat of the day). Once your cani-kart experience is over, you will have the pleasure of sharing a special moment with the dogs in the team to congratulate them, with cuddles and photos on the programme!
Accessible from the age of 8 to anyone who can tolerate shocks similar to those of a mountain bike outing, this discovery of cani-karting near Montreal will offer you a pleasant escapade in the company of the adorable canine athletes from Aventures Liguoriennes!
