The Essentials
Our sled dog events take place in the beautiful subalpine region of Upper Valais. Please note that weather conditions can vary greatly during the winter season.
The weather can change quickly, and storms or an increased risk of avalanches may occur unexpectedly.
Trail conditions also play a decisive role. The requirements for a passable trail are at least 10 cm of compacted snow (comparable to cross-country ski trails), no significant icing and no deep, wet slush.
Taking responsibility: Our huskies are not just working animals, but important members of our family. At this event, we place great importance on you treating the huskies responsibly and appreciating the trust involved in working with them.
