Embark on a canine-powered adventure you won't forget with experienced outfitters in Big Sky, MT; a perfect adventure for dog-lovers of any age.
Dog sledding in Big Sky offers a truly unique perspective for exploring the backcountry. From December to early April (depending on conditions), you can embark on an up-close and personal experience on a dogsled team as you glide through untouched forests and witness jaw-dropping vistas of Lone Mountain, the Spanish Peaks, and the Gallatin Range. These guided tours cater to all ages and experience levels. Relax and soak in the beauty, or learn hands-on how to steer your own team!
Planning Your Dog Sledding Adventure:
Local guides are all top notch dog sledders who are keen to share their passion for both dog sledding and Montana. Half-day dogsled trips last approximately 2 - 2.5 hours and feature hands-on instruction for those eager to drive their own team of huskies. Not to worry if that's not your style, you can also simply ride inside the sled while taking in the experience.
