Top start for our walk, accompanied by around ten Nordic sled dogs. Armed with our protective glasses, we set off to explore Gennes-Val-de-Loire and its hilly landscape.
After meeting the dogs and listening to them safety instructions, we are ready to go! We climb on the card and wait for the musher get the pack started. A signal and we're on our way ! The dogs get overexcited and start running with a impressive strength. The first turn is tight and forces us to hold on to us ! a departure full of sensations !
After leaving hectic, time to discover the territory. The musher indicates to the lead dog the direction to take “Left Pony!” The dogs in the back follow the movement.
Between forests and hilly landscapes, the walk makes us discover the nuggets of Gennes territory. Autumn is here and offers us red-orange colors making the experience even more beautiful.
During the walk, between two directions, the musher explains to us his daily life with the dogs. We are free to pose all the questions that comes to mind and this one answers us with pleasure. We learn more about originally dogs, their living conditions, habits or their well-being in general. A very instructive moment which allows better understand the activity !
After one about thirty minutes we return to the base, the ride is completed...we must now reward the dogs for their efforts! We approach them slowly, the musher gives us a single order : announce ourselves to them if we want caress them. The dogs are receptive et appreciate ! We take advantage of this to do tour of the enclosures to say goodbye to the pack before leaving...
