The most important
❄️ Why unique?
✅ First husky experience for children - age-appropriate & safe
✅ Combination of play, movement & responsibility
✅ Own journeys instead of "just travelling along"
✅ Including diploma, give-away & photos
✅ Small groups & individual support
Adventures for children aged 6 and over
Participants meet at the meeting point, get to know the huskies, guides and equipment, receive an interactive safety briefing and familiarise themselves with the procedure. Then it's off to the trail: in small groups, the children first practise alone with an empty sled - this gives the junior mushers a first feel for steering, braking and balance, all without a husky. These dry runs help to build confidence and are great fun! Afterwards, you and your accompanying adults prepare the huskies - harnessing them up and getting them ready to go.
Then it gets serious: each child puts what they have learnt into practice and drives two laps as a musher on a husky sled - accompanied by an adult who runs, secures and guides the husky.
Afterwards, there is plenty of time to stroke the huskies, take souvenir photos and enjoy small treats.
At the end, each child receives a musher diploma and a give-away - as a special memento of this unique day.
Weather and trail:
- Our sled dog events take place in the beautiful subalpine area of the Upper Valais. Please note that weather conditions can vary greatly during the winter season.
- The weather can change quickly and there may be unexpected storms or an increased risk of avalanches.
- Trail conditions also play a decisive role. The prerequisites for a rideable trail are at least 10 cm of packed snow (comparable to cross-country ski trails), no major icing and no deep slushy snow.
- For safety reasons, we have the following rule: An accompanying adult must be present at the event to actively support the child.
For these reasons, we need your mobile phone number where we can reach you on the day of the event in case of last-minute changes.

To ensure that you can enjoy your event without worries and are covered for unforeseen events such as illness or accidents, we recommend that you take out travel insurance. It is the responsibility of the participants to take out insurance.
Photos and videos:
- You are allowed to take photos and film during the event, of course also while driving.

Clothing:
- Please wear appropriate clothing for the conditions.
- Please do not wear snowsuits with animal motifs, as this can lead to misunderstandings with the huskies. Wild Swiss Adventure GmbH is not liable for any damages.
If we have to cancel your booked event due to weather conditions or impassable trail conditions, you have the choice:
-
Postponement for an alternative date that suits us both
-
