Understanding their behaviour and their environment, learning about their daily lives and getting to know them holds some truly captivating surprises! Mushing is the perfect activity for all adventurers who’ve always dreamt of getting up close and personal with these legendary dogs, bred to live in packs. Whether at Le Pleynet or La Ferrière, treat yourself to an exceptional day at Les 7 Laux and create memories that will bring a smile to your face for many years to come. We did tell you it would be unforgettable, didn’t we?

Being the leader of the pack

After getting to know these energetic animals and sharing plenty of cuddles with them, you’ll be ready to drive the sleigh and experience sensations you’ve never felt before. This moment is a defining one in your relationship with the animal and marks the start of a wonderful bond. Working closely with the Clos de la Vallée Blanche kennel, you’ll learn training techniques that have been used since time immemorial, making this summer activity all the more exciting.

Unique, intense, unforgettable, sensational – these are the words that best describe this mushing experience.

Learning step by step

Don’t worry, you won’t be thrown straight into the ‘lion’s den’. The aim of this activity is to introduce you to the lifestyle of these sled dogs and their environment, but above all to let you step into the shoes of a musher.

What is a musher? The term refers to a ‘dog handler’ or team leader, so for a day, you’ll become the leader of the pack. This immersive and active experience allows you to learn the basics of driving a dog team, guided by an experienced guide who will accompany you throughout the day.
As you travel through the heart of the spruce forest, you’ll feel at one with nature!

Everyone drives their own team, just like a trapper, to fully immerse themselves in an authentic experience.

Whether you’re with family, as a couple or with friends, this activity will captivate you with thrills and memories.
