Aventures Plein Air St-Hippolyte — Attraction in Saint-Hippolyte

What a great experience. Knowledgeable staff who were so supportive. Dogsledding: A must! This was such a unique experience. The dogs were wonderful, looked well taken care of, all had names and guides who loved them. **NOTE. This activity requires A LOT of physical exertion believe it or not. Strength is a must to hold, steer and brake the sled. One guide on a snowmobile per 2 dog sleds. L Cabin Lunch: Very authentic and served “camp style” (paper plates and cups, water poured out of milk pitchers, beets served in a ziploc container) Authentic Pea Soup, meatballs and beets, meat pie, potatoes etc. Down right amazing and super humble. You really wouldn’t want this any other way. Staff 10/10 Snowmobiling: Fantastic route, great machines that can go to eco mode (slower) regular mode or sport mode. Lots of twists and turns, hills and slopes. The guides spend the first hour teaching you out on the lake (you following and copying the guide and the second hour you ride solo with just your guide leading the way) A small helmet fitting session prior and a short two minute video before you head out. A bit of a stressful experience for me (trying not to tip the machine or take turns to sharp) but that’s just me.

Overall a wonderful experience. **Note. Tip...

Everything is very professionally managed. It's the perfect spot for a quick day trip out of town to enjoy the pristine habitat of Lake Morency, the Beaver lake and the thickly wooded mountain next to it. With the snow mobiles, you can effortlessly get to the top of the mountain with breathtaking views of the valley and lake below. I went twice and loved the adventure of racing over the frozen lake and through the winding forest pathways both times. With dog sleds it was a little bit more effort as it's meant to be but it was an incredible experience nonetheless. The interaction with their super well trained and friendly dogs was another awesome experience to be had on these trips and I was lucky to be there at feeding time too, when they are at their most animated. These huskies are such beautiful creatures and hearing them all howl at once in such numbers is a unique feeling. The guides were very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the environment which made it all the more interesting. It was very reasonably priced too. I highly recommend it to all...

Had a extraordinary time up there! We tried one of the dogsledding packages. After a training session, we were ready to ride our own sled pulled by real husky dogs. Don't worry, you are not sent in the woods on your own. Guides accompany you either on a snowmobile or riding their own dogsled. But what an exhilarating experience! The dogs were faster than expected. If you decide to be a musher (someone who controls the dogsled), be warned that you'll have to be fit. You don't get to lounge around when going uphill. You must push the sled to help the dogs especially when going uphill. When on flat ground you have to push occasionally (imagine how you propulse yourself when riding a skateboard). If that's not your thing, there is another package where you just sit in the sled and get a passenger perspective. Once the tour is over you get to pet the dogs, take pictures, visit the facilities. I'm definitely going back. My only regret is that as the rider, I couldn't film or take any pictures (I wish I had an action cam). But the passenger may be the camera...
