Sled dog rides Switzerland
The wolf-like huskies, also affectionately known as Eskimo dogs, have always been the perfect sled dogs thanks to their unbridled joy, strength and bond with humans - they can offer breathtaking husky experiences. Experience these unique four-legged friends up close. You will immerse yourself in a fascinating world that will stay with you forever and get to know and love every husky. The husky is very cuddly and is therefore also suitable for outings with children who enjoy dogs and are ready for an exciting experience.
A promising husky tour awaits you. On a sleigh ride or a husky sled dog tour through the valley, two and four-legged friends quickly get to know each other. An experience like this is a great way to remember winter. An important piece of information at this point: the adventure can also be given as a gift voucher.
These events are the perfect way to make friends with the huskies and gain an initial insight.

Your four-legged companions and you merge into a team and you will soon realize how unique the husky is. A unique experience for the whole family! It's not for nothing that they say dogs are man's best friend. Look forward to a unique experience with your husky by your side.

The shoes protect the sensitive paws of the huskies from the cold and the lumps of ice in the snow that would get stuck between the pads.

The Siberian Husky is considered gentle, playful, friendly, attentive and social. It is hardly ever suspicious of strangers or other dogs.
We cannot set an exact time, as the sled ride depends on the dogs, the temperature, the weather and the weight of the participants.
No, this is not necessary. We have never had to cancel a sledging trip due to lack of snow in 30 years. The tour will go ahead and, if necessary, simply take place in another area nearby.
As the sleigh rides only take place in December, we receive many registrations in a short space of time during this period. The best thing to do is to ask us if there are still places available.

Super experience. As a former dog owner, it was very nice to have such close contact with the dogs. The dog sled ride itself was outstanding. A big thank you also to the guide team who made this experience a success.
