Unusual 7. Canine activities

Combine nature discovery and complicity with sled dogs, and hike connected to the dog by a tether.
An experience for families, friends and sports enthusiasts alike.

Cani-rando can be enjoyed from the age of 6. Younger children can enjoy this activity in a green pulka: snugly seated in this little cart, children have the joy of being taken for a ride by a sled dog, of course under the guidance of an adult.

Enguerran LEFEBVRE, a passionate musher, will be your guide for a unique experience. From the cani-rando to the nordic scooter, from the green pulka to the sled dogs, emotions and speed are guaranteed in all seasons.
