© Winter dog sledding in Bessans - Husky-Adventure

Looking for a unique experience with a sled dog? Strap on a belt and a lanyard, then set off for an exciting adventure with a canine companion specially trained for this activity.

Description

Have you heard of this winter activity?
The concept of cani-randonnée is simple and fun: you set off on a hike connected to a sled dog by an elastic lanyard, which is attached to the dog's harness.
It's a great way to discover the world of mushing, meet our pack of Alaskan Huskies and other dogs, and learn more about their lifestyle, training, and incredible energy. The experience takes place under the guidance of a passionate and qualified guide, ensuring a safe and unforgettable adventure.
As you go along, you’ll appreciate the strong bond that develops with your dog, based on sharing, trust, and mutual understanding. Rest assured: the activity is accessible to everyone, as the dog naturally adjusts its pace to match that of the human. What’s more, the dog becomes a valuable aid on uneven terrain, making the walk more enjoyable, especially for children.
Much loved by the youngest participants, this activity also allows them to enjoy tender moments, with hugs and cuddles throughout the outing.
However, for safety reasons, children aged 7 to 10 inclusive, weighing less than 30 to 35 kg, must participate in the activity in pairs with an older child or an adult.
