A guide will pick you up at the meeting point on the mountain: Trockenen Steg 3,000 MASL at the restaurant. You will be taken to the husky site. The guide will look after you during the one-and-a-half-hour event. There you will get to know the huskies. The experienced musher (husky owner) will tell you exciting things about the huskies while you are allowed to pet the animals.

After that, the animals are harnessed to the sleds and off you go. While you enjoy the ride, the musher steers the sled and gives the animals commands. The guide takes photos of your ride. Each person can take two rides. There is a maximum of two adults in the sled. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

If there are enough bookings (max. 12 people) per booking time, two sleds will set off on the circuit at the same time. The duration of the ride depends on the snow conditions on the route and the energy of the animals and takes an average of 8 minutes.

1 August is Switzerland's bank holidays. The three original cantons of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden joined together in the ‘Eternal Confederation’. The idea of establishing the year 1291 as the founding year of the Swiss Confederation and 1 August as a bank holiday goes back to an initiative in Bern. The city wanted to celebrate its 600th anniversary in 1891.

Celebrate Switzerland's birthday with us.
The Matterhorn village presents itself under the motto ‘Switzerland - international’ with locals and guests from all over the world.
