Choose your ticket to dog sledding. You sit in a comfortable sled and let the dogs pull you over a glacier or through a snowy winter landscape. Partly you can also steer your sled yourself. Snow-covered mountains and numerous glaciers make this experience possible far beyond the winter months.
If you let yourself be pulled (wrapped up warmly) in a sled, you can enjoy the surrounding nature in a special way.
