Dog sledding
Outdoor activities
Heading for the Nordic adventure
Want to live a moment out of time? Climb aboard a sleigh and let yourself be guided by the pack. In the Pays des Écrins, dog sledding is an opportunity to discover the mountains in a different way: without noise, without skiing… just the breath of the dogs and the snow under the skates.
Check out the “Puppy Sledding” activity at the Pelvoux-Vallouise resort and set out on a dog-sledding excursion at the Puy Saint Vincent resort.
How does mushing work?
For the more contemplative, comfortably installed in the sled, let yourself be guided by the pack piloted by the musher. For the more adventurous, take the controls of your own sled and learn to drive, supervised by qualified instructors.
Where to practice?
- Puy Saint Vincent (1,400-2,000 m): easy start from the Prés chairlift. A pedestrian pass allows you to access the high plateau.
- Pelvoux-Vallouise: make snow, ideal for children.
Practical info
- Period: from mid-December to the end of March.
- Minimum age: 3 years old for baptisms and driving school.
- Equipment: warm clothing, gloves, goggles or mask, helmet mandatory with Mushing Addict.
- Reservation: strongly recommended, especially during the holidays.
And finally? Taste at the Maison du Miel or stop by the Maison du Parc national des Écrins in Vallouise.
