If you’re someone who loves the outdoors and eagerly anticipates winter’s arrival each year, you’re not alone. Honestly, you deserve an adventure that checks off not just your bucket list but adds exciting new experiences you didn’t even know existed. Luckily, we’ve got just the thing, and we’re so excited to share the news.
We’re thrilled to announce a brand-new partnership with the iconic Mt. Engadine Lodge to bring you an unforgettable overnight dog sledding adventure. Whether you’re visiting the Bow Valley for the first time or you’re a local looking to explore your backyard, this is an experience you won’t want to miss! Dog sledding is a top-tier Rocky Mountain adventure in and of itself, but add on an overnight element, and you’ll have a memory to last a lifetime.
Why Dog Sledding is a Bucket List Experience
Picture this: gliding through the peaceful winter landscape, the sound of the sled speeding over the snow, and a team of eager (and adorable) dogs leading the way. Dog sledding isn’t just a fun outdoor activity; it’s a unique way to connect with nature and experience the stunning beauty of the Rockies. It’s truly like nothing else. While you can ski, snowshoe, hike, or bike through these gorgeous landscapes as much as your heart desires, it’s not often that you get to join a pack of huskies on the trails and cover an unbelievable amount of ground without breaking a sweat.
As you navigate through approximately 80 km of breathtaking trails, you’ll get hands-on experience with the sled dogs, learning how to care for them while they get pumped up for the journey. Trust us, they’ll be even more excited than you are. Each turn reveals spectacular views of snow-capped peaks, dense forests, and the crisp mountain air that will make you feel alive and so very connected with nature.
An Experience Like No Other: The Adventure Unfolds
Your adventure kicks off with a full day of dog sledding, where you’ll travel across picturesque trails and take in the stunning winter scenery. Enjoy delicious meals, snacks, and drinks along the way to keep you energized. When the sun sets, you’ll set up camp for the night in a NorthFace Expedition tent, surrounded by the peaceful sounds of nature. Cozy up in high-quality Inferno sleeping bags and relax on buffalo hides and sheepskins as you share stories under a starry sky.
On day two, you’ll continue dog sledding as you make your way to the amazing Mt. Engadine Lodge. Nestled in the heart of Kananaskis Country, this lodge offers a unique retreat with breathtaking views and pristine wilderness. You’ll be greeted by the lodge’s rustic charm, complete with beautiful log architecture and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.
Why Mt. Engadine Lodge is Worth the Stay
The lodge provides a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. After a day on the trails, unwind in their comfortable lounge area, complete with a stone fireplace and large windows showcasing stunning mountain vistas.
Dining at Mt. Engadine is an experience in itself. From a hearty breakfast to start your day, to a delicious three-course dinner featuring locally sourced ingredients, the culinary experience here will delight your taste buds.
The lodge’s stunning patio and fire pit offer an idyllic setting for soaking in the views of Commonwealth Peak and Tent Ridge, perfect for sharing stories with fellow adventurers after a day in the snow. With snowshoeing, fat tire biking, and plenty of hiking trails at your doorstep, you can easily fill your days with adventure even after the dog sledding is done. You can stay in a glamping tent or suite, and we’ll pick you up in Snowy Owl company vehicles in the morning. Now doesn’t that sound like the perfect blend of rugged mountain living and a little bit of luxury?
