Looking for wide open spaces and a nature activity in the company of an animal? Discover an introduction to driving with magnificent sled dogs.
In 10 to 15 minutes, a qualified instructor will explain to you the essential basics of driving, and then you'll start the initiation with your own sled under the instructor's supervision. Throughout the ride, the instructor will give you all the information you need to get to grips with your own sled.

You'll learn about the pack, their characters and how to position the dogs in the harness, but the highlight is sharing the effort with them.
Braking downhill, positioning your body for bends and inclines, helping them up the hill, and finally letting yourself be pulled along on the flat.
Discovering the mountains with your own carriage, getting a feel for nature, sharing the effort, respecting the environment - these are the values that really come into their own.

Full ski clothing is required, as well as a ski mask or sunglasses depending on the weather. You'll also need snow boots or après-ski boots.
There is no minimum number of people required to take part in this activity, as you will join a group that has already been formed.


Supervised by a qualified instructor.
Not suitable for pregnant women.
Minimum age 10 years, depending on body size: children under 10 must ride directly on the instructor's sled for insurance and safety reasons.

Catering available nearby.

Make sure you book several months in advance.
