About Eden Dog Sledding
Eden Dog Sledding is a family-run dog sled tour operation based in Eden, Vermont, about thirty minutes north of Stowe in Vermont's reliable snow belt. Their mountain property consistently holds deep snow when valley locations are bare, making them one of the most dependable winter dog sledding experiences in New England. They offer educational sled dog tours for couples, families, and small groups, with both winter snow sledding and warm-weather dog-sledding-on-wheels available year-round.
Winter tours follow groomed trails through hardwood forest and open meadows with views of the Green Mountains, pulled by a team of well-trained Alaskan huskies. Each tour includes a pre-ride introduction to the dogs, basic mushing instruction, and the chance to drive the sled yourself or ride as a passenger. The on-wheels version uses the same trails and dogs but swaps the sled for a wheeled cart, making it a unique way to experience mushing outside the snow season. Tours accommodate beginners with zero experience and can be tailored for children.
What makes Eden Dog Sledding special is the personal, small-group format — you are not sharing a tour bus with fifty strangers. The owners live on the property with their dogs and treat each outing as a chance to share their passion for mushing and the Vermont backcountry. Four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is required to reach the property in winter, which only adds to the off-the-beaten-path feel that visitors love.
