Kingmik Dogsled Tours Location: Samson Mall, Lake Louise Village
Google Maps Location: Click Here This tour is located 50 minutes away from Banff and there is no transport available to Lake Louise. You will be transported to the staging area from the Samson Mall. 

You will be on the dog sled trail for 11 km and duration of about 1.5 hours. Prior to this you will have a brief safety chat and get to meet the dogs. 

Please dress warmly! While the sleds are lined with a thick sled bag and warm sleeping bag, you must still layer up! A warm wool underwear base layer with a parka or fleece and insulated windproof outer is suitable. A warm windproof hat, and a neck tube or scarf will help you to retain heat in key areas that must be protected from the cold. Layer up on the bottom half too. You must have warm mitts and warm boots. If your boots fit too tightly they will restrict the circulation in your toes which leads to cold tootsies. Big feet are in so leave some room in the end of your boots for your toes to wiggle about! Investing in the chemical hand and toe warmer packets will help greatly with cold extremities.

What not to wear!: Blue jeans, t-shirts and running shoes.

Maximum two adults and one infant (5 years of age and under) per sled. 

There is no age restriction, however when taking out very young or elderly people, the temperature must be carefully considered. Combined weight must not exceed 380 lbs per sled from December - March and 360lbs in April. Participants will be weighed at the discretion of the guides upon arrival. No refunds will be issued should you exceed the maximum weight capacity.
