Dog sledding is an activity in which the real protagonists are man’s best friends, dogs. Dog sledding is a sport where a sled is pulled by a team of dogs, which gives us the exciting feeling of running free on a sled in the snow. The nearest dog sledding centre is on Passo del Tonale.
For all of the more technical activities, for those who wish to try out a mountain sport for the first time, or improve their skills, or simply dare to try something more, our facility is in close contact and collaboration with the Alpine Mountain Guides of the “Val di Sole” Mountaineering and Ski Mountaineering School.
