From Mont Blanc
Welcome
Close your eyes and listen to the silent descent of the snow, the gentle wind rustling through ancient fir trees, the sun peeking through to warm your face, and your hand brushing against a soft, protective coat… the fur of the northern dogs, your loyal
companions on an unforgettable adventure.
You will personally lead your own team of sled dogs at the foot of the majestic Mont Blanc—just as you imagined as a child, reading Balto.

Our activity is supported by expert sleddog guides (Fabrizio Lovati), a professional staff, and a team of 30 huskies, all at your service to offer you a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
A Unique Opportunity
The Sleddog Project
Have you ever dreamed of taking part in an amateur long or medium-distance sleddog expedition without owning a sleddog team?
Under the guidance of Fabrizio Lovati, a select few will have the chance to follow a tailored program leading to participation—and completion—of a sleddog race or event.
You could even make your dream of competing in the IDITAROD come true!
