The adventure of the Great North lies just ahead. An increasingly popular sport today, dogsledding is reviving one of the most ancient means of transportation in the polar and sub-Arctic regions. And it adapts itself beautifully to the great virgin wilderness of Maurienne. Dogsledders here enjoy sensational new experiences: vertiginous races, obstacle sledding, initiation in dogsled driving with magnificent Siberian huskies, discovering protected Alpine sites and mountain peaks. It’s a moment of total abandon, "far away from it all".
