INCROYABLE ! Je voulais trouver une entreprise qui prenait soin des chiens. Eh bien c'est chose faite ! Les chiens ont un enclos immense. Nous avons pu voir ce qu'ils mangeaient : de la viande avec des légumes. On voit qu'ils sont élevés dans l'amour. L'expérience était géniale et je reviendrai tous les hivers. soyez-en sûrs !

Notre expérience en chiens de traineau a été fabuleuse. Une petite entreprise à échelle humaine avec des personnes passionnées et des chiens en parfaite santé. Au plaisir de revenir en été !

Super séjour au chalet ! Lieu unique avec de splendides paysages ! Nous avons découvert la cani-rando, une chouette activité en pleine nature avec une meute adorable. Un grand merci à nos hôtes qui ont été d'une incroyable gentillesse. Amoureux des chiens et de la nature, c'est ici qu'il faut se rendre !.

Take part in the evening routine with our guide and extend the fun with the distribution of the dogs’ meals.

essential conditions for fabulous outing

Your safety and the well-being of our dogs are our priorities. Therefore, the following conditions must be respected:

– You must be in good physical condition, because you must provide moderate to sustained cardio effort… even more so for a 2-hour outing. For example, on a climb, you have to get off the sled and run a little to kick your dogs.

– A good ability to react is also important in order to manage the brake to ensure that the rope is kept taut between the sled and the dogs.

– Even if you are in good shape, you must not weigh more than 100kg / 220 lb to be able to drive a team. This limit was set to provide optimal living conditions for dogs and promote their good health.

– Are you pregnant? Your health and that of your baby are more important than a dog sled ride. Come back and see us next year ;).

happy dogs. happy customers.

We had an incredible experience! As soon as we arrived there, a few dogs already came to greet us affectionately. We were lucky enough to be able to help prepare the animals for departure. What followed was 1 hour of pure happiness. Alex is motivated, encouraging and reassuring. He has a real connection with each of his dogs. The animals are happy, healthy and fulfilled. Magical and unforgettable experience.

Thanks to Alex the musher and his dogs for this incredible experience. We were able to spend a wonderful time in beautiful snowy landscapes. Alex takes the time to adapt the profile of the dogs to the profile of the person, which is essential for a successful experience. He also ensures the well-being of the client throughout the ride and regularly indicates what to do with the sled depending on the difficulties of the route.

A very nice family sleigh outing with Alex and his dogs. Alex is a very friendly and educational guide, who adapts the ride and the teams to everyone's abilities. The dogs are very endearing, in great shape and full of energy. Alex is a true enthusiast, his kennel is on a human scale in a magnificent environment.
