Sled dog rides

Dog sled rides the Lötschental winter experience for dog lovers. Enjoy the incredibly beautiful natural landscape of the Lötschental on a sledge. With a bit of luck, you might even become a musher for a while.
You book the escort time of a Wuffel sled dog guide (musher) for a musher experience with a professional musher and his 4-dog team,
one adult person alone or together with a child up to 12 years of age for CHF 120.00 per hour,
for more persons always two woofel mushers and teams from CHF 240.00 per hour.


If you book two sledges, it is up to the participants how big your group will be. The placement of those present on the sledges is regulated on site according to the safety criteria of www.wuffel.ch. During the rides, you can stop and swap places with waiting group members.


Free for children: children can drop by the dogs' location below the hotel at any time outside of booked hours, watch the dogs being cared for over a hot tea and help feed them.
