In 10 to 15 minutes, a qualified instructor will explain to you the essential basics of driving, and then you’ll start the initiation with your own sled under the instructor’s supervision. Throughout the ride, the instructor will give you all the information you need to get to grips with your own sled.

You’ll learn about the pack, their characters and how to position the dogs in the harness, but the highlight is sharing the effort with them.
Braking downhill, positioning your body for bends and inclines, helping them up the hill, and finally letting yourself be pulled along on the flat.
Discovering the mountains with your own carriage, getting a feel for nature, sharing the effort, respecting the environment – these are the values that really come into their own.
