While widely enjoyed as a winter excursion across alpine trails, valleys, and dedicated centers, related animal encounters and husky trekking also extend into the summer season in selected areas.\n\nSeveral mountain destinations provide dedicated setups for dog sledding. In Les Arcs, tours often set off from the nordic area near Peisey-Vallandry, while Avoriaz allows visitors to learn to drive their own team of dogs under professional guidance. Bormio connects to the nearby Husky Village in Valdidentro, which operates sledding in winter and husky trekking during the summer. Across the Italian Alps, Bardonecchia hosts excursions at Pian del Colle, and Madonna di Campiglio runs outings across the scenic Campo Carlo Magno pass.\n\nBeyond guided tours and personal driving lessons, the sport takes various formats across different regions. In Tarvisio, spectators can view the annual International Dog Sledding Race (Alpe Adria Mushing) held in Val Saisera, while destinations like Livigno and Val Thorens give participants the choice between driving a sled or riding along as a passenger.", "destinationsCount": 23, "countries": [ { "name": "France", "count": 12, "url": "https://www.alpematch.com/activities/dog-sledding/france" }, { "name": "Italy", "count": 10, "url": "https://www.alpematch.com/activities/dog-sledding/italy" }, { "name": "Spain", "count": 1 } ] }, "destinations": [ { "name": "Les Arcs", "country": "France", "region": "Savoie", "altitudeM": 1200, "maxAltitudeM": 3226, "skiAreaKm": 200, "seasons": [ "winter" ], "url": "https://www.alpematch.com/locations/les-arcs", "json": "https://www.alpematch.com/data/locations/les-arcs.json", "services": [ { "name": "Husky Sledding Adventures", "seasons": [ "winter" ], "description": "Experience the magic of the snowy landscape on a guided husky sledding adventure.
