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!

Wonderful experience. Fabrizio and his brother-in-law very helpful. Dogs all wonderfully cuddly, and very good at their jobs. Top final aperitif, with a special mention for the focaccia. We will definitely be back this spring to try other adventures. Thank you very much

We had a great time, we will certainly carry the memory of this experience in our hearts. The dogs are treated well, you can see that they can't wait to run and that they are not forced to do so. Good explanation from the guide who was also engaging for the kids. Recommended
