Q: What is special about a dog sledding trip?

If you let yourself be pulled (wrapped up warmly) in a sled, you can enjoy the surrounding nature in a special way. Such trips are offered in winter on snowy passes like the Col des Mosses and in summer on various glaciers. However, if you want to actively steer a dog sled yourself, that is also possible. Huskies are very patient animals, which you can steer yourself after a short instruction within a guided sled group.

Q: How many dogs do you need for a sled team?

A sled team can consist of two to twelve Huskies. Such a team is also called a team. Meanwhile, the teams are often harnessed as a double. They are all attached to a central pulling line.

Book a dog sled ride or choose another experience with a sled dog. You will get to know the beautiful huskys up close and learn more about these cute animals. On a sled ride you sit in a comfortable sled and let the dogs pull you over a glacier or through a snowy winter landscape. You can also steer your own sled.
