Il calendario delle escursioni aprirà a settembre
THE QUESTIONS YOU'RE ASKING YOURSELF
You drive, if you weigh more than 30 kg. After a briefing of about 15 minutes, you're the one leading the team: in front of you there's always an instructor opening the trail, but you drive the sled. Those who weigh less than 30 kg are carried as passengers, on the instructor's sled.
It takes moderate physical effort. For about an hour you're an active part on the sled and, on the uphill stretches, you step off and help the team by pushing. You don't need to be an athlete, but it's important to be in good health. Before departure we'll explain everything in the briefing, and the instructor will always be with you.
"It's a real sport and it's hard work, but that's exactly why it's extremely rewarding."
No, if you follow the briefing instructions. The commands are simple and the dogs already know their job: your task is to be with them, help them, not to order them around.
THE QUESTIONS YOU'RE ASKING YOURSELF
Yes, it can happen. In the safety briefing we explain how to stand on the sled and what to do if you lose your balance. By following the instructions, you can fall without consequences: it's part of the sport, like skiing.
The safety of people and dogs comes before everything else: that's why the briefing and the rules are strict. We've been doing this for over 30 years, with thousands of guests accompanied every year.
Their urge to run has a name: it's called "Desire to run", and it's written in their DNA, without any coercion. But it's not enough just to get on and let them go: they need to be guided, and your presence on the sled is essential to give direction to this energy. You're the one who drives them, sets the pace and keeps a safe distance from the sled ahead. You're the musher!
CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
From age 3 you ride as passengers, carried by the instructor on their sled. Driving your own sled is possible only later, from age 7, once you're over 30 kg and reach at least 1.20 m in height.
No. For safety reasons, the little ones travel only on the instructor's sled. It's not allowed to carry children, relatives or friends on your own sled.
To drive your own sled you need to weigh more than 30 kg and be at least 1.20 m tall. Those below this threshold ride as passengers with the instructor.
"A magical moment with my family."
PRACTICAL RULES
P U N C T U A L I T Y · Z E R O T O L E R A N C E
We ask you to arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled time, and on this the tolerance is zero: it works exactly like at the airport, where those who arrive after the gate closes miss the flight. If you arrive late, we can't redo the briefing just for you without penalising the whole group. It's not strictness: it's respect for the other participants, for the dogs and for all the staff.
Yes. We go out in any weather, except rain: Siberian Huskies love the cold and the snow, and with fresh snow the atmosphere is even more magical.
In the rain we don't go out, for the dogs' wellbeing and your safety. If rain is forecast at altitude, you'll be contacted and we'll move the excursion to another date. The same applies to extraordinary snowfalls with closed roads. In these cases of force majeure there's no money refund, but rescheduling to a new date is guaranteed.
PRACTICAL RULES
Snow boots, warm and waterproof. Snowboard boots are fine too.
You cannot take part with ski boots, trainers or footwear unsuitable for the cold.
Better to dress in layers, with a waterproof windbreaker, gloves, hat, sunglasses and suitable clothing, as for a day of mountain hiking: here you sweat going up and feel the cold coming down.
Briefing and excursion are guaranteed in Italian and English. French, at the moment, is not always guaranteed: if you need it, call us to check. If you understand neither Italian nor English, unfortunately you can't take part: understanding the briefing is essential for your safety and the dogs'.
No, you don't need to physically print the tickets.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
Driving a sled requires the use of hands, arms and legs, good eyesight and the ability to understand the briefing and put it into practice. Physically, you need to be in good health and have the stamina to be an active part for about an hour, with moderate effort. Some conditions don't allow this to be done safely: if they apply to you, write to us before booking , so we can assess it together.
For safety, it's not possible to drive the sled during pregnancy.
Those who have recently suffered a fracture cannot take part in the driving: the effort and the possibility of a fall make it risky.
There's no single answer: it depends on the case. Write to us before booking, describing your situation. Sometimes the solution is to ride as a passenger, sometimes it's to give up. We decide together, with you.
It must be communicated before booking.
taking part is possible.
they don't allow safe driving. In these cases too, write to us: sometimes you can ride as a passenger.
It's not a prejudice, and it's not discrimination.
They're the only things we put before everything: the safety and wellbeing of every participant, of our dogs and of the whole group. If you have a doubt about your case, ask: we always answer.
IN SUMMARY
Excluded from driving: ongoing pregnancy, recent fractures or the presence of prostheses, conditions that prevent the use of hands, eyesight or the understanding of the briefing. In these cases, write to us before booking.
HAVE A DOUBT? JUST ASK
Write to us before booking, tell us your situation: we'll help you understand whether sleddog is for you, and choose the right experience. Better one more question today than a disappointment tomorrow.
