• Please call or email our office if booking a group of 10 or more participants. We do offer group discounts and may be able to move sleds around if it appears that we do not have availability for your tour of choice.

• If your party does not fit in these outlined parameters or you are unsure, please call or email our office. We will be happy to look at your specific needs.

Guide Driven Sled (weight max. 350lbs)

• We prefer to have one person on the back standing tandem with the guide and one sitting in the sled. 2 people can sit in the sled together if space and weight allow (static weight 250lbs in sled). If it is a requirement for both to be in the sled together and weight is over static max, please talk to office for approval. Extra charges may apply for dedicated guide.

• The person on the back will be given instruction on how to guide the sled and may be asked to stand on brake when guide is working with the dogs or other clients. Younger children will be given a turn on the back if the guide feels it is safe to do so. It must be understood that the person on the back must have a minimum amount of physicality as they may need to push or run beside the sled at times. If unsure, please call the office to confirm if this is right for you.

configuration examples:
1 adults, 2 adults, 1 adult + 1 child 8 or over

The only way to get to the parking area at Fortress Mountain is to drive, there is no public transportation available into this area. It is a secondary highway and is cleared and maintained. Most vehicles can access this area but should have a min of front wheel drive and good all-season tires but winter tires are better. It would take approx 1 hour 20 min from Calgary, 45 min from Canmore, and 1 hour 10 min from Banff. Scroll down to view map and directions
