Dubost Nature - Chiens de traineau

In the heart of Auvergne, in Livradois-Forez, discover dog sled rides. For 20 years, Christian, the musher and his pack of Siberian huskies, have been sharing with you his passion for driving and the great work of the dogs!

To practice summer and winter... without moderation...
Our dogs are all Nordic dogs of exceptional kindness, devoid of aggression and unfailing courage.
This very complete activity full of discovery is made for all those who like to share moments in the heart of nature, in fantastic settings...!

To go further... and experience the great outdoors, a few details:
. The winter team is made up of 10 to 12 dogs and an ash wood sled that we have made in our workshops. The number of places is limited to 2 or 3 adults per team. We will take you to slide on different tracks in the Nordic area of ​​the Col de la Loge.
The routes we take are exclusively reserved for horse-drawn carriages. They are groomed and maintained every day, which allows us to make the most of the joys of skiing and the work of the sled dogs.
We offer 3 formulas from 1 to 3 km with a small off-piste section for the last. Sensations guaranteed for young and old. What good memories in perspective! On arrival, a small cabin awaits you to warm up by a good wood fire and share a friendly moment and exchange with the musher. A hot drink is offered to all crews.
Our activity begins with the arrival of the first snow and ends…
…as late as possible !!! It is obvious that to take full advantage of all these good things, the weather conditions, the quality of the snow and the temperature must be there.
Accessible to all: Adults, children, schools (National Education Approval), outdoor centres, disabled people, groups.
Equipment: Warm clothes, glasses, and good shoes required.

The freedom of wide open spaces and respect for dogs is everyone's passion!

. Summer hitching is a bit different than winter activity. Already by the climate, the environment and the behavior of the dogs. Always in magnificent settings with changing colors from autumn to spring.
The number of dogs does not vary compared to winter (10 to 12) and they will make you discover this fabulous course of 5 km in the Volloroise countryside.
The hitch, on the other hand, no longer slides but is equipped with wheels. Just as pleasant, you will be able to discover the work and the courage of the dogs. You will be in contact with the pack and many explanations about the activity will be given to you as you go along. The crew is formed each time either 2 to 3 adults or 4 children per tour.

Accessible to all.
