Forfait Inukshuk

Set against the rugged wilderness of La Baie, Québec, Alaskan du Nord’s Forfait Inukshuk offers a rare melding of hiking, camping, and canine companionship that’s perfect for adventurers seeking a hands-on connection with nature and dogs alike. Situated at 7800 Chem. des Chutes, this experience begins at the company’s kennel, where guests meet their expert guides and the eager Alaskan huskies who will share the journey. This isn’t just a walk in the woods; it’s a well-paced introduction to hiking with dogs, blending easy to moderate forest trails with the unique rhythm of traveling alongside these animal companions.

The journey starts with a gentle initiation hike to acquaint visitors with the dogs and gear, setting a deliberate pace that welcomes all skill levels. Later, you’ll embark on the main trek to the Inukshuk camp, deep within La Baie’s dense forests, where the landscape shifts among towering spruce and fir trees, patches of wild blueberries, and moss-covered rocks. The campsite itself offers a quiet, authentic outdoor setting — far from the crowds — where you enjoy a dinner cooked over an open fire under a sky full of stars.

Camping overnight in this wilderness, you awaken to crisp morning air and the subtle sounds of forest life. A hearty breakfast shared with the dogs rebuilds energy for the second day’s hike, concluding your return to the kennel. The Forfait Inukshuk is special for its balance of accessible wilderness immersion and authentic dog-led adventure, a standout in Québec’s outdoor scene where traditional hiking meets the enriching dynamic of sled dog culture year-round.

Whether you’re a seasoned trail walker or new to forest camping, Alaskan du Nord provides thorough guidance and expertly matched dogs to ensure a memorable, safe, and inspiring experience. This trip highlights La Baie’s natural beauty and the lasting bond formed with canine partners, making it a unique waypoint for outdoor travelers venturing through the Saguenay region.
