Be surprised on a cani-snowshoe hike in the Vercors

Vercors

Snowshoeing is accessible to everyone, and this winter, there’s an exciting new way to experience it—cani-snowshoeing! This fun family activity (labelled Famille Plus) combines snowshoeing with the companionship of friendly dogs.

Before you set off, you’ll be equipped with a comfortable shoulder belt that connects to the harness of the sled dog in front of you via an elastic leash. A musher will guide you, teaching basic techniques along the way while the dog gently pulls you forward. It’s especially enjoyable for children, who will love walking alongside their four-legged friends and forming a special bond during the adventure!

While you don’t need to be an experienced skier, beginners might find it challenging to stay upright while hanging on.
