In Alaska? No, Upper Valtellina! Experience the
exhilaration of dog sledding with a team of huskies in Arnoga (between Bormio
and Livigno).
Instructors will teach you the commands and other important information so that
you can be the musher for a 5-km sled ride on the mostly flat Decauville
forest trail, which offers stunningly beautiful views.
Dog sledding in Valtellina is for everyone
Anyone aged 13
and over can drive the sled, and children aged 3-12 can ride with the
instructors in a cosy sled bag. Up to 2-3 children can ride on the same sled.
There is a maximum 8 adults and 5-6 children per excursion.
Participants can even bring their own dogs, as long as they are northern
breeds.
NOT ONLY IN WINTER... HUSKY RIDES IN SUMMER TOO!
In summer the
Husky Village - Sleddog Ranch runs two types of excursions: husky trekking,
where the musher wears a special rock-climbing harness attached to a
husky to make trekking easier; and karts, which are two-wheeled sleds driven by
huskies – like a summer version of dog sledding.
