Sled dog sledding in Val d’Isère

Discover an incredible adventure with sled dogs in Val d’Isère, accompanied by magnificent huskies and breathtaking scenery! Contact our concierge to learn more or read this dedicated article.

An original activity in the heart of snowy landscapes

Dog sledding is a recreational activity available in Val d’Isère that allows participants to experience a unique experience by being pulled by a team of specially trained dogs, usually huskies or Alaskan Malamutes, on a sled through snowy landscapes. This activity is often practiced in regions with abundant snow, such as the northern United States, Canada, Scandinavia, and other regions of the world suitable for winter sports, such as the Alps. 

A sled dog sled ride in Val d’Isère is a chance to escape time and discover the pristine landscapes of the Manche Valley. Comfortably seated in your sled, let yourself be guided by an experienced musher and his team of dogs.

Between snowy forests, majestic mountains and the silence of nature, this excursion is an authentic experience to share with family, couple or friends.

This activity is offered at the resort by the ski and adventure school Evolution 2.

How does a sled dog walk work?

First the preparation: before departure, participants receive instructions on how to stand on the sled, how to interact with the dogs, and safety instructions. The mushers, experienced sled dog drivers, supervise the entire activity.

Then the dog team: the sled dogs are attached to a specially designed harness that is connected to the sled. The dog teams are usually composed of several dogs, each dog having a specific role in the team.

The departure: once the dogs are attached to the sled and ready to go, the excursion begins. The musher leads the team of dogs and the sled, while the participants can sit comfortably inside the sled or, in some cases, help lead the team by standing at the back.

An outdoor experience: During the walk, participants can enjoy the winter landscape, the tranquility of nature, and the soothing sound of dogs in action. It is an immersive experience that allows you to connect with nature and the tradition of sled dogs.

The return: Once the walk is over, the dogs and the participants return to the starting point, where the dogs are untethered and cared for.

Dog sledding is appreciated for its both playful and educational aspect, as it allows participants to better understand the relationship between humans and sled dogs, as well as the importance of these animals in the northern regions. This activity is also an excellent opportunity to enjoy the winter beauty of snowy landscapes while being actively involved in the experience.
