Dog sledding: an immersive, authentic and caring experience

With Manawa and the specialised sled dog gift card, you can now follow in Santa's footsteps! Specifically bred to pull sledges, sled dogs are often huskies or malamutes. With proper care and meticulous preparation, the sled dog discipline involves an incredible connection between the mushers - the people who lead the team and the sled - and the dogs. These experienced drivers, known as "mushers", have a unique bond with their travelling companions that goes far beyond simply mastering the discipline and developing a relationship with a pet animal. In this sometimes harsh winter environment, each member of the team plays an essential role: during a dog sled ride, you'll notice a real team spirit within the pack. Often referred to by our Quebec friends as "dog sledding", this winter experience is more than just a walk... it's a real immersion in the world of mushing!

Whether you're a thrill-seeker or just a lover of dogs and landscapes frozen in white gold, a dog sled ride is an opportunity to learn how to decipher the behaviour and body language of these enigmatic companions. When you board a sled, the mushers will share fascinating stories with you and won't hesitate to pause for a moment... the aim: to reveal tips on how to form a team and interact harmoniously with the pack.

Immersive and caring, this winter experience encourages passionate and respectful exchanges to offer a new perspective on nature and the animal world! For several years now, the collective trend has been to give gifts that respect the environment and animal ethics... with the possibility of a Manawa gift card dedicated to this eco-responsible winter activity, we're offering you a different and daring gift idea to delight your loved ones this Christmas!

An authentic dog-sleigh ride is an opportunity to discover the ancestral means of transport used by people from the Arctic lands. With its sustainable approach, punctuated by the sound of the sled splitting the snow, the landscapes passing before your eyes and the mushers' vocalizations at the head of the team... the sled dog ride is a winter experience where the environmental impact is minimal. The mushers are very close to their dogs, ensuring that they are in good health, fed regularly and treated with respect by the pack under their command. In this atmosphere of mutual support and struggle against extreme weather conditions, embark on an adventure where you will travel hand in hand with the team to discover breathtaking snow-covered landscapes... always at the pace of the pack.

An unforgettable moment of sharing, thanks to the Manawa gift card!

For Christmas, give the gift of discovering snow-covered landscapes, lulled to sleep by the rhythm of our faithful 4-legged friends... an activity that's already available with the dog sledding gift card.
