MUSHING IN SUMMER
For mountain lovers who enjoy nature and warmer temperatures during summer, ski resorts reinvent themselves and offer experiences suited to this season. Mushing in Andorra, meanwhile, parks the winter sleds and replaces them with wheeled sleds still pulled by dogs. Absolutely brilliant!
This family-friendly experience will take you through the landscapes and forests of Andorra. A professional musher will guide and drive the sled pulled by 12 to 14 dogs. These sleds typically have 2 to 3 seats, with a minimum age requirement of 2 years.
Young children must always be accompanied by an adult.
Where does the activity take place?
This activity takes place in the forests of La Caubella in Vallnord - Pal. These are deep forests with well-marked trails to ensure you enjoy this experience as comfortably as possible. The routes are marked and range between 1 and 3 km, with the duration depending on the dogs' speed during the journey.

What clothing should I bring?
Even though it's summer, don't underestimate the mountains. Wear comfortable clothing and bring something warm just in case. It's important to check Vallnord's weather forecast a few days beforehand.
When does the activity take place?
The season runs from May to November, or until snowfall makes it impossible to continue enjoying the wheeled dog sleds.
In short, it's a different activity when there's no snow and perfect for the whole family to enjoy some fun time together. The Andorran Pyrenees offer another type of tourism, inviting you to experience nature in its purest form in a noble and sustainable way while enjoying the animal world.
