Les nordiques du 1/4 d'en bas

Visit to the Praz Jean Kennel: 
Immerse yourself in the exciting world of sled dogs with an immersive visit to the heart of the Praz Jean kennel. This activity offers a special opportunity to discover the daily life of the pack and share an authentic moment with these magnificent dogs. 

The visit begins with the dogs being let loose in the play park for around 30 minutes. You will gradually get to know each dog, discover their personalities, and observe wonderful scenes of play and interaction within the group. 

Then it's off to the kennel, where you can feed the dogs if you wish, before enjoying a moment of cuddles and bonding. A heartwarming experience, ideal for animal lovers. 

Prices: Adults 10 CHF, children (under 15) 5 CHF.

Karting - Route de la Plantation (Saint Martin): 
Before the winter season, mushers prepare their dogs using karts, vehicles equipped with high-performance shock absorbers that allow for smooth training on varied terrain. 

Although the sensations are different from gliding on snow, karting offers a unique experience, especially thanks to the early morning starts, often accompanied by magnificent sunrises. A memorable moment to experience up close with the dogs and their impressive energy. The route is about 5 km long, or a 30-minute ride, followed by a friendly moment with the dogs and the musher at the end of the activity. 

The maximum load is 80 kg. As the kart is already heavy, this limit ensures the comfort and safety of the team. 

Prices: Adults 50 CHF and children (under 15) 25 CHF.

And even more Nordic activities in the Val d'Hérens:
