Dog treks
Dog trek is much more than a simple mountain walk. It's an adventure between human and dog, an original and invigorating way to discover Alpine trails. Linked to a dog by a belt and an elastic lanyard, you let yourself be carried along at a fluid, dynamic pace, carried by the quiet strength of your four-legged companion. An activity accessible to all, where effort becomes sharing, and walking a bond.
In La Plagne, this discipline takes on a very special dimension. In the heart of the Tarentaise valley, this emblematic Alpine resort offers an exceptional playground for dog treks: larch forests, flower-filled mountain pastures, breathtaking views of Mont Pourri, Mont Blanc and the Vanoise peaks. Itineraries vary from family outings to more challenging outings, with the promise of a moment in the great outdoors at every turn.
🐾 Hiking to the rhythm of the Far North
Do you dream of a slightly different kind of hike, in the heart of nature, with an athletic... and furry four-legged companion? Discover do treks in La Plagne! Equipped with a harness linked to a dog, you'll be whisked through the Alpine trails in an experience that combines complicity, adventure and shared effort.
Siberian huskies, Alaskan huskies or even Greenland dogs: these dogs from the cold are true athletes, perfectly adapted to the mountains, even in summer. Enduring, powerful, affectionate and sociable, they are selected for their gentle character and their ability to evolve in dog treks in contact with adults and children.
❄️ Impressive dogs... but tender!
Their howling may remind you of a wolf, but it's only the excitement of the adventure that speaks for itself! Behind their wild looks lie well-balanced, affectionate dogs. The Siberian husky, for example, has long been the companion of Chukchi families, and can even play with children.
For the cani-rando, mushers choose calm dogs, accustomed to human interaction and particularly patient with younger dogs. These are the dogs who will become your companions for a day on the trails of La Plagne.
🚶♂️ An activity for dynamic hikers
Do trek is more than just a walk. The dog pulls you on the uphill sections, helps you keep up the pace... and can even drag you downhill! The result: a sporty, invigorating and fun experience.
💡Don't forget: the courses are always laid out alongside a stream, so the dogs can quench their thirst regularly. Well-being and safety come first!
🐶 Did you know?
Even if their appearance evokes the great cold, Nordic dogs also love summer! Their double coat protects them from both extreme cold and summer heat. As long as you respect their rhythm and give them regular breaks, they're in their element on mountain trails.
