Activities - Husky Dog Sledging
Huskies
How many can you fit in one sledge?
Out on a trek
burying his head inthe snow!
Huskies have been used for centuries to help people cross the otherwise inaccessible snowy wildernesses of the Alpine winter.
They are perfectly adapted to work in the snow with their huge thick coats, incredible strength and stamina and can go for miles pulling sledges through deep virgin snow.
Driving the dogs or 'mushing' is a special skill, but it's easy to learn the basics and anyone can have a go.
You can try a taster session, lasting about 10 minutes on a sledge to see if you like it. Or you can go out on a day or 1/2 day trek into the winter wilderness. It's also possible to go out on a moonlit excursion!
There are different sized sledges for between 1 - 4 people so you can either have your own sledge and dog team or take it in turns on a shared sledge (perfect for people who want a few lazy minutes enjoying the ride while someone else does all the work!)
The dogs are all very well trained and friendly and are always secured by a leash. Our instructors are fully qualified dog handlers and professional' mushers' with a special license to provide treks and taster sessions with the dogs.
If you would like to try husky dog sledging as part of your ski holiday or winter multi activity holiday, then please please fill out a request form telling us what you are interested in and we'll get back to you.
