Come and meet
polar dogs
at Aillons-Margériaz

In the heart of the Aillons-Margériaz resort, at an altitude of 1400 metres, enjoy a unique experience at the Ferme des Chiens de Traîneaux. Passionate mushers welcome you to share their daily lives with their Nordic companions.

An unforgettable adventure in the snow

If the snow is there, take a sleigh ride through the snow-covered forest. A Nordic experience that will delight young and old alike!

Alternatives for all weathers

If the snow doesn’t arrive, don’t panic! Opt for :

  • Cani-kart, a sled equipped with all-terrain wheels,
  • Cani-rando, a dynamic walk pulled by a dog,
  • An immersive virtual reality experience for a unique sliding sensation.

Bonus: Help look after the dogs after the activity! Strip them, brush them and give them a well-deserved break.

Book your adventure in advance at the Ferme des Chiens de Traîneau in Aillon-le-Jeune. Contact the mushers by phone or email to confirm your outing.

Dive into the world
of farm animals

Savoie is also a land of farming traditions and know-how handed down from generation to generation. At the Ferme de la Correrie, in the heart of the Bauges mountains, discover the daily life of dairy cows and goats, veritable pillars of Alpine gastronomy. Here, the animals are more than just milk producers: they embody a culture, a territory and a strong link between man and the mountains.

Watch milking and taste award-winning cheeses

Experience an authentic moment as you watch milking, an ancestral gesture that still gives rhythm to life on the farm. The farmers are passionate about sharing their know-how and revealing the secrets of traditional Savoie cheese-making.
And what a source of local pride: the Tome des Bauges produced on the farm was awarded the gold medal at the Salon de l’Agriculture in Paris in 2023. National recognition that highlights the quality of this emblematic cheese, crafted with patience and a love of the land.

Fill up on local flavours

After your visit, it’s time to indulge. Let yourself be tempted by a tasting of farm products with authentic flavours: cheeses matured on site, local charcuterie, mountain sweets… All the ingredients you need to prolong the pleasure at home and share a little Savoie around the table.
