Book your activity
Practical information
You will have 4 to 5 hours of activity per day.
- Meeting at the reception
- Briefing on what to pack for the night. The bags will be brought to the refuge by a member of the team in the evening, so you won't have to carry them on the sled all day.
- Arrival at the refuge around 4 p.m.
- You'll tie the dogs to the line, prepare the food, help with feeding and settle into the chalet. These are huts without water or electricity, and meals are prepared with the guide. After a few drinks and stories by the fire, it's time for bed.
- You'll wake up the next morning with a good breakfast, prepare the sleds and dogs, and set off for a 2nd day of sledding adventure.
- Lunch by the fire again and back to the kennels by 3.30pm.
Maximum weight: 220 kg per sled.
