white odyssey

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".
