Description
Even before setting out, your musher will welcome you and take the time to introduce you to the fascinating world of his dogs. You’ll learn about their history, their personalities, their roles within the team, and their daily lives. With great passion, he’ll share with you the secrets of this sport, how the dogs are cared for, and the unique bond that unites them. You will then watch the team being prepared: an authentic moment where each dog is fitted with gear and positioned with precision, in an atmosphere that is both dynamic and intimate.
Once the dogs are ready, you will be invited to settle comfortably into the sled. Once safely seated, you can fully enjoy the experience that awaits you.

FAQ
What exactly is a dog kart? Is it different from a dog sled?
A cani-kart is a wheeled kart pulled by a team of Nordic dogs. Unlike a sled, which requires snow, the kart runs on forest trails and can be enjoyed year-round. The experience is similar: speed, dogs, and nature.
At what age can you start dog karting?
This activity is open to children ages 3 and up. No special physical fitness is required: you sit in the go-kart. It’s an activity for everyone, suitable for both children and adults.
How many people can fit in the go-kart?
The kart can accommodate up to 4 people, with a total weight limit of 200 kg. It’s the perfect option for families or groups of friends who want to enjoy the experience together.
When does the activity take place? Only in the winter ?
No, that’s one of the great advantages of dog-powered karting: it can be enjoyed year-round on the Margeriaz Plateau, as soon as the site is accessible. Unlike dog sled rides and tours, which are only available in winter (when there’s snow), dog-powered karting is available in spring, summer, and fall.
