At what age can you start cani-balade?

The activity is accessible to children aged 8 and over. For younger children, the dog’s pulling power may be too great, but they can accompany the walk alongside their parents.

Do you have to be a great athlete to do cani rando?

No, you just need to be in good physical condition and able to walk on mountain trails. The dog actively helps you on the climbs, making the effort more fun and less tiring.

Can I bring my own dog?

For reasons of safety and harmony between the animals in the pack, it is not possible to take part in the activity with your own pet.

Forget the traditional walk. Here, you become one with the animal. Linked to a sled dog by a wide belt and a cushioned tether, you can take advantage of the dog’s power to cover the gradients with surprising ease.

Whether you’re a seasoned walker or a fan of new sensations, this hike with a dog is a physical and emotional experience. You learn to listen to the rhythm of your four-legged partner, to encourage him on the climbs and to share a well-deserved break in front of the summits. It’s an experience of total disconnection, punctuated only by the sound of your footsteps and the animal’s breath.
