Husky Sleigh Ride Saas-Almagell

Experience our evening adventure: We start at 17:30 when dusk sets in and the moon bathes Zermeiggern’s snow-covered landscape in a magical light. After the welcome, you’ll gain an insight into the sport of sled dogs and the tour schedule. Then take your seat in the sports sleigh and feel the raw power of the husky team as you glide silently through quiet, snow-covered forests – guided by an experienced guide.
Afterwards, there’s time to get to know the huskies: pet them and learn more about their pack life, character and stamina. We’ll treat you to hot drinks (mulled wine, tea) and fresh biscuits so you can warm up between rides. Finally, you’ll receive a small giveaway as a keepsake of this unforgettable winter experience.

Weather and trail:

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 increased avalanche risk may occur unexpectedly.
Trail conditions also play a crucial role. A rideable trail requires at least 10 cm of packed snow (similar to cross-country ski trails), no extensive ice and no deep, wet snow.

For these reasons, we need your mobile phone number at which we can reach you on the day of the event in case of short-notice changes.

Passenger rides:

For passenger rides, when weather and trail conditions permit, we use a traditional wooden sleigh with room for a maximum of 2 adults. The additional weight also plays a role.

For safety reasons, the following rule applies:

If you book for 2 people: The total weight of the 2 people should not exceed 170 kg. If this is the case, please note it when registering. This information is important to us, as we will then need to operate individual rides with a sports sleigh and plan accordingly. This will in no way limit your experience!

Our events usually involve between 8 and 14 Siberian Huskies. These powerful huskies are led by our experienced leaders Blizzard & Sky, who are excellently trained. Nevertheless, something unexpected can always happen. For safety reasons and to protect their health, pregnant women and children under 2 years of age are therefore excluded from participation.
