Winter holiday in Valtellina? Book a sleddog excursion at Husky Village

While all the ski resorts in Valtellina and with them all the enthusiasts are waiting for the first snowflakes, the winter season is officially open at Husky Village in Valdidentro: months of fun and sleddog tours on the snow in the company of our wonderful huskies await us, until late spring. A visit to the Husky Village is a must if you spend your skiing holidays in Valtellina: here’s why.

Skiing in Livigno and sleddog with huskies

If you choose Livigno as your winter holiday destination, it means that you will make skiing your main activity during your stay in the mountains: Livigno’s ski area is immense, one of the largest in the Alps, and offers lifts and slopes suitable for any skier, from beginners learning to ski in the village’s camps to the more technical and challenging tracks at altitude at Carosello 3000 and Mottolino, not forgetting the snowparks and trails for snowboarding and freeriding.

Before and after skiing, hotels in Livigno offer wellness and spa areas in abundance, not forgetting the Aquagranda swimming pool with wellness area, while a stroll through the streets of the town centre in the grip of shopping in high-fashion boutiques and shops of all kinds is a must. For a day out from the classic sporting routine, or in the event of bad weather, you can opt for an alternative activity to skiing in Livigno, suitable for the whole family: just a few kilometres away is the Husky Village, on the Foscagno road in the direction of Bormio, where you can try the incredible experience of driving a wooden sled pulled by authentic Nordic dogs, in whose veins runs the noble blood of the sled dogs of Alaska and Scandinavia.

If it snows, skiing can be less fun, but driving the sled along the snowy path through the forest provides even more special emotions, in a magical atmosphere that smacks of a fairy tale. At the end of the experience, you can also get to know the husky dogs and the honey products from the Husky Village farm, which we produce thanks to our beekeeping activities, as well as receive personalised photos taken along the route documenting the excursion.

Holidays in Bormio with skiing, spas and sled dogs

Those who go on holiday to Bormio expect to do essentially two things: ski on the slopes that start at 3000 metres above sea level and go all the way down to the village, including the famous Stelvio slope that will host the next Winter Olympics, and relax in the thermal waters that flow from the mountain and make Bormio one of the most renowned Alpine spas. The sports and wellness experience offered by the Magnifica Terra covers a wider area than just the village of Bormio, one of the most beautiful and historically rich towns in Valtellina: skiing in Bormio means in fact access not only to the slopes of Bormio3000 but also to the nearby Santa Caterina Valfurva and Cima Piazzi-San Colombano ski resorts, using a single ski pass, while the town’s thermal baths, more suitable for families and children, are complemented by the Bagni Vecchi and Bagni Nuovi di Bormio spas, located along the road leading to the Stelvio Pass.

This area that encompasses the tourist offer of Bormio also extends to Valdidentro and as far as Arnoga, where the Husky Village is located, just a few minutes’ drive away.

Here, along the first section of the decauville leading to Lake Cancano, the 5 km snow-covered route dedicated to sleddog in the upper Valtellina winds its way: participants in the experience ride along it guiding the sled dogs with voice commands, just like professional mushers, experiencing an adventure that will surely remain among the most beautiful and indelible memories of their winter holidays (also thanks to the dedicated photo service with a professional photographer, included in the price ticket).
