Simplon Pass passenger journeys
Experience the fascination of huskies with us and enjoy a guided sleigh ride on a 1.5 km long trail over the snow-covered Simplon Pass - at an altitude of over 1800 metres, surrounded by alpine vastness and silence.
As a passenger in the sports sled, you feel the power of the husky team and glide through the clear mountain air - safely steered by an experienced guide.
After a warm welcome, we will give you exciting insights into the tour, the sled dog sport and the handling of our animals.
Then your own personal adventure begins: you take a seat in the sled and let our Siberian huskies pull you through the impressive winter landscape.
Afterwards there will be time to get to know the huskies, for petting, photos and stories about their origins, their pack behaviour and their impressive stamina.
Of course, there are also warm drinks such as mulled wine, tea and biscuits - so you can warm up in between and enjoy the atmosphere.
At the end, a small give-away awaits you - as a memento of an experience you won't soon forget.
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 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.
Passenger journeys:
If the weather and trail conditions allow, we use a traditional wooden sledge for passenger rides, which can accommodate a maximum of 2 adults. The additional weight also plays a role.
For safety reasons, we have the following rule:
- If you are booking for 2 people: The total weight of the 2 people should not exceed 180 kg. If this is the case, please make a note of this when you book. This information is important for us, as we then have to organise individual trips with a sports sledge and plan accordingly. This will not restrict your experience in any way!
Our events usually involve between 8 and 14 Siberian huskies. These powerful huskies are led by our experienced leaders Blizzard & Sky, who are excellently trained. Nevertheless, something unexpected can always happen. For safety and health reasons, pregnant women and children under the age of 2 are therefore not allowed to take part.
General booking conditions:
- The event is booked as soon as payment has been received by Wild Swiss Adventure & Dog School GmbH.
- Up to 15 days before the event the booking can be cancelled via your profile or by e-mail, in which case 4% bank charges will be retained.
- Up to 14 days before the event the booking can be cancelled via your profile or via e-mail, 50% of the booking value will be refunded.
- Up to 7 days before the event the booking can be cancelled via your profile or by e-mail, 20% of the booking value will be refunded.
- 24 hours before the event you will receive a text message and an e-mail informing you whether the event will take place due to bad weather, high temperatures or other unforeseeable conditions.
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.
- We will take photos during the event, which we will make available to you shortly afterwards. If you do not want these photos to be used by Wild Swiss Adventure GmbH on the website or on social media platforms, please indicate this when you register.
- GoPro videos of your ride will also be available.
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
-
Refund the amount already paid less a one-off processing fee of 5 % of the gross booking amount (minimum CHF 10.-) to cover our payment processing costs
The remaining amount will be transferred back net to the payment method you used. Please note that additional fees charged by your payment service provider (e.g. CC/PayPal) cannot be covered by us
