You don't have to go all the way to Lapland to experience a magical moment! Sled dogs, reindeer, donkeys, and llamas are waiting for you in Les Arcs for nature walks the whole family can enjoy together.
Description
Unusual encounters, four-legged companions in a hurry—or not—and, above all, wonderful memories to make during your mountain vacation.
The mountains with companions like no others!
Why not let our animal friends guide you to discover the mountains in a whole new way?
In winter, head to the Far North… or almost! Imagine yourself comfortably settled in a sled, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, with only the dogs—eager to set off—as your guides. A few barks, a signal from the musher, and off you go! The team picks up speed, the scenery flies by, and you’re off on a journey out of time. Between the thrill of the ride, the bond with the dogs, and scenery worthy of the Far North, a dog-sled ride in Les Arcs is sure to make the eyes of young and old alike light up!
What if the magic continued with reindeer? Yes, yes—the very ones we usually picture alongside Santa Claus! You don’t need to cross the Arctic Circle to meet them. In Les Arcs, these amazing companions invite you to share a special moment with them. Take the time to watch them, get to know them, and let yourself be swept away on a sleigh ride through the heart of the snow-covered landscapes. An experience straight out of a winter fairy tale, perfect for the whole family.
When the snow gives way to sun-drenched trails, it’s time for a change of pace—and of companions! This time, donkeys and llamas will accompany you on a hike through the mountains. We walk at their pace, enjoy the scenery, and let ourselves be surprised by the personalities of these funny companions! It’s enough to turn a simple walk into an adventure full of good cheer.
Why choose this activity
- To get a taste of the Far North without leaving the Alps: a dog-sled ride, an encounter with reindeer… You have to admit, it’s a nice change from the usual vacation routine!
- To share a memorable family moment: seeing the children marvel at the animals (and the parents too) is priceless.
- To discover the mountains in a different way: whether on the snow or along the trails, you slow down, take in the scenery, and let the animals draw you into their world.
Practical Tips
- Reservations are required (please book well in advance);
- Be sure to wear warm clothing (due to the altitude and the possibility of remaining still during the hike);
- Some hikes are not suitable for pregnant women or people who have recently undergone surgery.
