When you think about ski resorts, of course, you think about skiing, snowboarding, and maybe even sledding.
Have you ever considered dog sledding in Sun Peaks? It’s a great way to connect with nature and the culture of British Columbia.
Surrounded by the Columbia Mountain Range, you can add this to your list of things to do while staying in a Sun Peaks Resort rental.
About Mountain Man Dog Sled Adventures
Mountain Man Dog Sled Adventures is a family-run business that provides an authentic dog sledding experience. Located on Alpine Road, they’re right in the middle of the Sun Peaks resort. Offering a variety of experiences, this is one of the need-to-do Sun Peaks winter activities.
Dog Sledding Tours
When trying to select the best tour for dog sledding in British Columbia, consider the three tours that they offer. First, there is the Bucket List Tour. Lasting about an hour, this is perfect if you’re looking for a relaxing experience. It’s slow-paced and perfect for a romantic outing or just a calm experience.
Next, there’s the Into the Wild Tour. This is a more exhilarating tour for those looking for excitement. On this tour, you’ll ascend almost 500 feet in elevation and pass by Little McGillivray Lake, adding some exceptional scenery to your trip. The total time on the tour will be about an hour and a half.
The last tour isn’t on the sled. It’s a trip to the dog kennels where you learn about how the pups are taken care of and where they stay. You’ll also get to hang out with the pack and get to know them! This activity is great for all ages.

About the Dogs
Mountain Man Dog Sled Adventures is a part of the Professional Mushers Association of British Columbia. By participating in this organization, they adhere to the Sled Dog Code of Care, which ensures that their dogs are well-maintained.
The dogs require a lot of energy to run a sled. They’re given lots of fat from a local butcher, as this is mostly what they burn for their energy source, and they also eat trout. They’re also given a mixture of raw ground chicken, kibble, and plenty of water. Consumed throughout the day, it’s a great source of energy for the pups.
