Full description
Climb aboard a sledge pulled by wonderful snow dogs and set off on an exciting dog sledding adventure on the snowy paths of Castelmagno, a small Occitan village in province of Cuneo.

3...2...1... Here we go!
What we will do
We will meet 15 minutes before the selected time in Castelmagno (CN), a mountain village at an altitude of over 1,700 m, in a beautiful family-run estate where snow dogs live in complete comfort and freedom. The hosts will welcome us and take us to meet our wonderful companions of adventure: the Huskies!
This will be followed by the preparation of the pack and a briefing to learn basic sled-riding techniques. The dogs used for dog sledding are perfectly trained and able to help even the most inexperienced drivers, but we must treat them in the right way and give them the correct commands. The guides, of course, will instruct us on this too and then we are really ready to go!
Once aboard the sledge, we will have about 1 hour to complete a 3.5 km route through the snowy forests, with ascents, descents and wonderful views of the surrounding mountain peaks.
Those who don't feel up to driving the sledge on their own can ride together with an instructor. Between rides, we will stop to catch our breath and let the dogs rest and then set off again to enjoy the adventure to the end!
Between the welcome, preparation of the dogs, technical briefing and sledding tour, the activity will last a total of around 2 hours.
Who it is aimed at
This activity is open to all mountain and animal lovers. To drive the sledge, one must be in good physical condition, be at least 12 years old and weigh less than 100 kg. You can participate as a passenger from the age of 3.
