The “Musher” is the one who leads the team of sled dogs using specific commands to guide the dogs along the route. Before setting off on a sledding experience, the instructor teaches participants the main commands so that they can really feel like they are the protagonists of the experience.
Recreational dog sledding can be practiced at the sled’s lead or as a passenger on a sled driven by the Musher. Participants are involved right from the preparation of the pack and the management of the dogs used for the activity. In this way, you can enjoy direct contact with the animals – all perfectly trained – that will make children especially happy!
Dog sledding is an activity for the whole family. Experienced guides can ensure a totally safe experience even for children, who will have a great time with the docile snow dogs! It should be remembered, however, that dogs are not a game and should always be treated with care and respect. The guides will also explain what are the right behaviors to adopt to establish maximum harmony with these beautiful animals.
Those who want to experience dog sledding in Piedmont can do so in Sestriere or Pragelato, in the upper Susa Valley, or in Castelmagno, in the province of Cuneo. The activity can be practiced throughout the winter season, from December to March approximately. The sled ride takes 40 to 60 minutes, plus the introductory briefing and preparation.
Dog sledding can have varying costs depending on the location and duration of the excursion. On average, a one-hour tour costs €80 to €85 per person, with discounts for children. Despite the not-so-cheap price, the thrill of running together with huskies is very often a secret wish well worth the effort!

The place is enchanting, a small village and beautiful valley.a very kind girl welcomed us and gave us all the information we needed. We ate at the Relais la Font, a restaurant that has an agreement with us.an impeccable reception, tasty menu, everything was very well looked after, absolutely approved👍. After lunch we went back to the meeting point for the experience. Fabrizio explained everything that was important to know and then the tour began. My daughter had a great time, I really recommend it!!!! Well done to everyone for the organisation!

It was a really beautiful and challenging experience, but with the right guidance given to us at the beginning we managed and had a great time! The dogs are really special and so are the people who look after them. We would love to come back

Great experience, definitely to be repeated and that I will recommend. The dogs were treated impeccably! The only advice I could give... at the registration, always ask about the athletic level of the participants because being 'big' is not always synonymous with being out of shape :-). See you soon for a new adventure!

The hike was exciting... very friendly and knowledgeable instructors and owners. Dogs 🐕 beautiful. I would shorten the initial presentation a bit by giving less such specific notions to allow more hands-on practice with the sled 🛷 before attacking the dogs. We didn't taste the cake but these are superfluous details as it wasn't the purpose of the 'adventure... All in all, it's an adventure to be enjoyed to the fullest. Tiring but beautiful 🤩
