Adventure in the Far North in the Bauges region

Adventure companions for millennia

The history of sled dogs began in the bitter cold of the Far North, a world away from our mountains, yet with the same love of freedom. Used for over 4,000 years by the Inuit, Chukchi and Sami peoples, these courageous dogs hauled provisions, timber and travellers across snow and ice. Truly essential to survival in the polar regions, they also played a key role in major exploratory expeditions, from Alaska to Antarctica. More than just a means of transport, they have become a symbol of solidarity, strength and loyalty.

Today, the legacy of sled dogs lives on, carried forward by passionate mushers who uphold a unique bond between humans and animals. Every team tells a story: one of precision teamwork, genuine camaraderie and a tradition passed down with pride. To experience a dog-sledding adventure is to immerse yourself in a millennia-old heritage, made up of snow, joyful barking and great shared adventures. It is an experience that is at once sensory, historical and deeply human.
