Dog Sledding · Peyragudes
How to choose
Activities take place in Avajan near Loudenvielle, rather than directly in Peyragudes. Operator Instinct Louron runs two distinct experiences with sled dogs from November to March. The discovery outing costs 15 € and lasts 2h. Rated “Everybody welcome”, this option introduces you to the pack without an athletic physical demand. The second option is a 1-hour hike on foot alongside sled dogs, costing 25 €. It does not involve riding in a sled and is rated “Occasionally sporty”. Both outings are guided in English and French. Choose the 2h discovery session for a relaxed introduction at the lowest price, or pick the 1-hour dog-assisted hike if you want to walk through the trails actively.
