ALPES'HUSKIES

Come live an experience with the competition huskies of Violaine, world champion 2024 and 2025 of its discipline, in the enchanting setting of the Grand Paradis in Champéry.

- discovery of equipment and its use
- runway tour as passenger (1 adult + 1 child)
- Dog hitching
- pictures and hugs with dogs

In the summer season, please book your activity IN THE MORNING (7am to 11am) or at the end of the day (from 4pm). Any booking outside of these hours will be moved due to the hot temperatures for dogs.
