🐾 Introduction to mushing: become a musher
Minimum 2 people
Service Description
Take the controls and get your first taste of driving a dog team, with one of our dogs or with your own! On our private, secure track of about 1 km, you will gradually learn the basics of dog scootering, dog karting or sledding, depending on the season and conditions. 🛷 What's included: 🐺 Meet the dogs and discover the equipment 🐾 Understand how a dog team works and the basics of driving one 🛴 Get the feel of the scooter, kart or sled without a dog 🐕 First laps with one dog, then two depending on your level ❤️ Cuddles, photos and a chat with the musher This is a real introduction to mushing, including some basic theory. Driving is very physical, requires you to work with the dogs and carries a risk of falling (our dogs are competition dogs and can reach 35 km/h from a standing start). 🌡️ The well-being of our dogs comes first: when there is no snow, the activity only takes place early in the morning and when temperatures allow. 🎒 What to bring: ⛑️ Bike or ski helmet 🧤 Gloves 🥽 Sports glasses or ski goggles 👟 Closed shoes and sportswear suited to the weather ❄️ In winter: full ski outfit Helmet, gloves and eye protection are compulsory. ⏱️ Duration: about 1 hour 👧 From age 7; a parent must be present for minors 🐕 You can take part with your own dog, provided it is fit for the activity. One hour to learn, drive and feel what it is like to be a real musher! 🐺🛷
