Experience an unforgettable dog-sledding adventure in Aillons-Margériaz

Dreaming of a moment out of time? A breath of fresh air from the Far North, but in Savoie? In Aillons-Margériaz, sled dogs will take you on a frosty adventure in a picture-postcard setting. Make yourself comfortable and let yourself be guided by a musher who will share his passion, his daily life and, above all, his 70 four-legged companions with you.
