Baptism in sled dogs in Gap-Bayard 30min

Spending a few winter days in Gap? Would you like to discover a new winter hobby? We have a great adventure for you!

It is a baptism of mushing that you can do, for a first experience of sled dog. This will take the form of a half-hour dog sled ride, with a team led by a professional musher and state-certified instructor. With it, your adventure will be safe, fun and memorable, in the heart of theSouthern Alps.

Indeed, your adventure takes place in the Hautes-Alpes department, in Gap, more precisely at the Gap-Bayard station. This town is located 20 minutes from Tallard and 40 minutes from Orcières and Embrun.

The meeting point is the station restaurant. Arrived on site, you will have a warm welcome from your musher, who after having received you, will introduce you to his pack made up of Nordic dogs. You can play with them and caress her, to create a bond with them. Then, the instructor will give you a safety briefing, which will inform you about the course of the activity, but also about the safety instructions to follow.

After the hitch is ready, you will settle into the sled, and then the adventure will begin! You will be towed by 8 to 10 dogs, for 30 minutes, in the Bayard plateau, surrounded by stunning snowy panoramas.

• The weight of the sled load cannot exceed 200 kg.
• This rate is intended for children from 12 years old, but also for adults.
