Go Dogsledding

Magical adventures can be found year-round in the beautiful paradise of Switzerland. Skiers and snowboarders riding down slopes of every difficulty level keep the snow-capped peaks busy at all times. But there are still many ways to enjoy the country’s beautiful landscape in winter, and one truly unique experience is dog sledding.

Switzerland has many husky runs if you're looking for something different. The non-skier offerings at ski resorts include many departures. However, there are other locations for you to choose from such as the Jungfraujoch near Interlaken; the Les Rosées-Dessous (where the polar environment is ideal for days out in the snow), and the Lake Geneva region. Visit the Barry Foundation in Champex-Lac if you want to spend time with dogs without making them do any heavy pulling. In addition to offering guided snowshoe excursions with friendly St. Bernards during the winter, the foundation organizes animal-assisted therapy sessions.
