Dog sledding

This is the activity children ask for and parents remember. A team, a musher, and twenty-five minutes in which you hear nothing but the runners on the snow, after a day of chairlifts, the contrast is striking. Two people maximum per sledge, a hundred and fifty kilos combined: the musher's limit for his dogs, and we respect it to the letter. Dress warmer than for skiing. You do not warm up sitting still.

The options

By day

Twenty-five minutes with the team, two people maximum for 150 kg combined. It is short, and deliberately so: the dogs are working, they are not run for scenery. The musher introduces the pack before setting off, often the best part for children. €250.

In the evening

The same outing once night has fallen, on an empty domain. The silence changes everything: you hear nothing but the runners and the dogs' breathing. The version we recommend for adults. €500.

Duration

Twenty-five minutes of sledding by day

When to go

Winter, snow permitting

Pricing

€250 by day · €500 in the evening

€250 for the twenty-five-minute daytime outing, €500 for the evening version. The rate is for the team: two people maximum, for a combined weight of 150 kg, that is the musher's constraint, not a preference, and it is not negotiable. Tell us who is riding and we arrange the team accordingly.
