Trails on which to go dog-sledding, also known as mushing in Grandvalira. Bearing in mind that Grandvalira is one of the biggest ski resorts you can find, with up to six sectors such as Pas de la Casa, Grau Roig or El Tarter among the most famous ones, it is not surprising that there are several areas for dog-sledding routes.

In the El Canillo sector, for example, you will find various alternatives ranging from 2 km, 3 or 5 km routes to night outings for the more bucolic ones.

Anyone can join a dog-sledding route. It's clear that dog-sledding is one of the most beautiful experiences you can enjoy in the snow and the best thing about it is that you don't need to have any specific physical characteristics to practise it. You will find options for everyone, as you don't need to have any previous experience or be of any particular physical condition. In La Massana, Ordino, Soldeu... You have everything you need to have a great time surrounded by snow dogs.

If this is the first time you will ride on a sled pulled by dogs, you don't have to worry because you will always be accompanied by an expert who will handle the reins, guiding the dogs and who will also show you the most spectacular snowy trails in Andorra. Hop on and let yourself get carried away through places you would never have imagined.

A dog-pulled sledding experience is something both for the young ones, and the not so young ones. Any adult who has tried this sport will agree it's a great adventure regardless of your age. Although we may think that children will be more excited to meet real snow dogs, with whom they can play before the route, the truth is that adults also love it.

On the sledge there can be between 2 and 3 people, but they will always be accompanied by an expert in charge of the expedition. If two children want to ride on the sled, companies usually never oppose to it if the weight does not exceed the weight established by the regulations, especially to guarantee the safety of the animal.

Don't get carried away by prejudices and, if you have the opportunity, ride with your little ones or even on your own! Dog-sledding is the perfect snow sport for the whole family.

Romantic winter plan. If you've chosen Grandvalira as your destination for a special getaway, a dog-sledding route is a surprise that everyone will love, especially if it has that irresistible halo of romanticism that the snow has to offer. There are plans for everyone, you just have to choose the atmosphere and degree of intimacy that you are looking for.

From routes for two, routes where you will drive the sleds yourselves or a mushing ride in the Andorran night.

Let nothing catch you unawares when trying a dog sled route in Grandvalira. Book your mushing experience in Grandvalira in advance since, bear in mind that this is an activity in which you work hand in hand with the snow dogs, so you need to plan ahead to ensure their well-being.

If you come with children, they can play with the dogs before or after the route. They will learn how to take care of them, how important it is to respect their space and look after them with the utmost care.

Come dressed and equipped as if you were going to practice any other type of winter sport. Although some sledges come with blankets to keep us warm, this does not mean that the weather will not be cold, given the usual temperatures during the snow season and the altitude at which we find ourselves enjoying this experience.
