Learn to drive a sled dog team in Avoriaz in the middle of the Northern Alps with a professional musher!

During this introduction to dog sledding in Avoriaz, you will learn how to look after and steer a team of 2 or 3 sled dogs during a 2-hour excursion. Accompanied by an experienced instructor, you will get a quick and clear briefing on how to steer your sled with the musher's advice, even from the age of 10. In complete safety, with top-quality equipment, expert professionals and a pack of adorable dogs, all you will have to do is enjoy the incredible sensations offered by the activity and the magnificent snow-covered landscapes of the Alps during your dogsled outing in Avoriaz!

The experience begins with a meeting with your four-legged companions, with whom you will be able to bond over a few moments of sharing. After fitting all the Huskies with their harnesses and tying them up in groups, your little procession of sledges will set off for a 2-hour ride: between descents and ascents during which you will have to help your team of dogs, you will have an incredible time discovering the thrills of sled dog driving in Avoriaz!

Both sporty and contemplative in the magical setting of the Portes du Soleil, your introduction to driving a sled dog team in Avoriaz will remain engraved in your memory forever!

Booked this for our family of four as a surprise for my husbands 50th birthday. Well organised. Was nice to meet the dogs at the start, and to be hands on getting the harnesses on the dogs. There had been quite a bit of snowfall, so the dogs found it quite tough getting through the deeper snow. I spent half the time off my sled pushing through the snow, so you do need to be physically fit. It was a super experience and I'd fully recommend it.

Absolute bucket list activity! One of the best things I've ever done. Please note, you do need a reasonable level of fitness for this activity!

What an experience. We all absolutely loved it. The dogs were so adorable and they were fantastic. We got there at 9.45 and it finished at 12.45 so took around 3 hours.

We were looking for non-ski/snowboard activities to incorporate into a two-family vacation to Chamonix. This is one of the activities we did and we all unanimously agreed it was the best adventure EVER!
