Gliding on sleds pulled by dogs through enchanting snow-covered landscapes

In Friuli Venezia Giulia you can plunge into a winter unspoilt landscape doing dog sledding. Let yourself be pulled by dogs and discover enchanting landscapes.

In winter you can do dog sledding, skijoring or try the pulka (a kind of toboggan) thanks to the International Mushing-dog sledding school in Tarvisio and to the Snow Dogs Association in Sella Nevea.

Dog sledding through Friuli Venezia Giulia's forests
The main sport of work dogs on the snow. Initially born in Alaska as a means of transport, now dog sledding has become a real sport. You can learn to be a musher, the one who drives a dog sled, creating an extraordinary relationship with the pack of dogs and having unforgettable experiences in Friuli Venezia Giulia's forests.

Skijoring along Friuli Venezia Giulia's runs
If you like cross-country skiing you can try skijoring, a sport that combines the technique of cross-country skiing with the precious collaboration of one or two dogs. You will be fastened with a harness to the dogs and with skill and harmony you will be pulled along the runs in Friuli Venezia Giulia's forests.

Pulka along Friuli Venezia Giulia's paths

The pulka is of Scandinavian origin and is a toboggan used by hunters to transport skins and hunting equipment. The silent, skilful hunter with his skis on let the dog transport the traps and guns and, going back, the skins. If you are a fairly good cross-country skier, you can try this sport and experience adventure along the paths of Friuli Venezia Giulia's mountains.

In summer try dog trekking, dog karting and dog biking in Friuli Venezia Giulia!
