Dog sledding rides

Hello !

I would like to make a surprise to my wife and offer her a dog sled ride.
Do you have any good tips or suggestions on the best spots and offers, ideally not too far away from Zürich ?

Thanks for helping me in this surprise !

I'd be interested in this information as well! Though closer to Lausanne is better

Good Luck.

Toggenburg isn't too far a stretch...

Re: Dog sledding rides

Can't do both 'addresses' with the same one. This in Toggenburg is the place we went walking in a couple of weeks ago. (under GPS-Tagged- Hikes in Day Trips) I cannot see anything for Lausanne but I don't know the French words either. I googled Hundeschlitten for the Toggenburg one. Perhaps someone in the Lausanne region knows the words they use down there.

Re: Dog sledding rides

We live on Flumserberg and although I haven't been on one I know they do them here. However I think they only do them from mid December.

Here's the link to the information on the Flumserberg website.

and it's only about 1 hour from Zurich!

Good luck, what a great surprise!

Re: Dog sledding rides

Didn't someone very recently post about being ripped off by one such company. Maybe searching will pull it up as it could be worth really checking them out before sending your money and ending up with no fun vacation..
