A low-slung sleigh slides from the edge of a resort parking area and the Percheron horses shoulder forward, bells chiming, air tasting of cold spruce and wood smoke. Blankets are handed out and a storyteller eases conversation into Québecois legends as the sleigh moves across open fields and into a dark stand of firs. If the ride departs after dusk, the forest presses close and stars feel within reach; during daylight the Laurentian slopes reveal ribbed ridgelines and frost-lined branches.

If the ride departs after dusk, the forest presses close and stars feel within reach; during daylight the Laurentian slopes reveal ribbed ridgelines and frost-lined branches.
The Laurentians are ancient rounded hills carved from the Canadian Shield; soils are shallow over hard gneiss and granite, which explains the patchwork of fields and dense mixed forest that the sleigh traverses. Mont-Tremblant village grew as a recreational hub in the early 20th century; sleighs and horse culture are echoes of winter travel before motorized snow machines. Local culture favors convivial storytelling and maple products—expect a warming cup of hot chocolate and, in spring, maple candy samples.
Practical guidance: the experience lasts about 50 minutes and is family-friendly—infants sit on laps and the route is gentle with minimal elevation change. Dress in true winter layers: insulated jacket, warm base layers, hats and waterproof boots; a provided blanket helps but does not replace warm footwear. Rides run with or without snow (on wheels when bare), and departures require a minimum number of guests. Arrive early to meet the horses and secure a centered seat for the best view. This is an accessible, low-effort way to feel the Laurentians’ winter hush while enjoying live folk music and local flavor.
The guided sleigh ride lasts approximately 50 minutes from boarding to return.
Yes—infants ride free on an adult’s lap and the route is gentle; participants should be able to step into the sleigh.
Yes—when snow is absent the sleigh runs on wheels so the activity operates year-to-year weather permitting.
Hot chocolate is provided on every ride and maple candy is sometimes served in mid-February to spring when available.
