Tornak · one of our huskies

Boreal Kennels

A family, 46 huskies, the Yukon.

Meet Bertrand → Plan your trip →

Boreal Kennels is a family-run outfitter in Carcross, 70 km south of Whitehorse, between Bennett Lake and the mountains. The historic White Pass Trail of the Klondike Gold Rush runs right past our trails.

It was founded by Bertrand Bellencourt, a professional wilderness guide who has led dog sledding expeditions since 2001. Our 46 Alaskan and Siberian huskies live, train and run on the trails around our home: most were born here, and all of them stay with us for life.

Small groups, your own dog team from the very first hour, and the whole winter in front of you. Fly into Whitehorse and we take care of the rest, with pickup in downtown Whitehorse for every tour.

Your own team

From your very first hour, you take the handlebar yourself, behind four to six huskies. Here, you are the musher.

25 years in the North

Bertrand has led expeditions since 2001. Every guide holds Wilderness Advanced First Aid training and knows these trails by heart.

Dogs for life

Our huskies are named, known and loved. Most were born at the kennel, and none of them ever leaves the family.

Small and responsible

Small groups, quiet trails, nothing left behind. Fully insured, and members of the Yukon tourism associations.
