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. Sitting in the sledge or kart depending on weather conditions and guided by a musher, you will live a unique and magical experience.
Discover the fabulous history of mushing, meet these extraordinary dogs, pet them and take pictures with them, participate in the horse-drawn carriage and learn how to use the equipment if desired! The time is divided into 3 parts: introduction to mushing, baptism in sled/ kart, hugs and photos with dogs. This family-friendly activity requires no special skills.
The benefits are as follows:
- meeting with dogs
- discovery of equipment and its use
- runway tour as passenger (1 adult + 1 child)
- Dog hitching
- pictures and hugs with dogs
- if the weight is more than 90 kg, take the two-seater option
(it is a sled that supports more weight and requires more dogs, hence the supplement)
Once the dogs are in action, you can experience this incredible feeling of living a moment out of time, in the heart of a beautiful landscape, on the edge of a forest of fir trees.
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.
