Join me on this hiking tour with dogs in the beautiful Swiss canton of Valais!
Located in the heart of the Alps, Valais will be the perfect setting for our hiking tour. During this aventure, participants will explore its unique and diverse landscape. Its natural beauty will take your breath away!
Early in the morning, every day each participant will start hiking in the company of a sled dog and during the tour, hikers will guide their dogs by talking to them and by the precise gestures they will learn during this course.
During lunch, we will enjoy a delicious picnic and in the afternoon we will get more in contact with the dogs by feeding and brushing them. According to your wishes we may leave for either 1 to 5 days.
Throughout the journey, dogs will be equipped with a harness that will be attached to each hiker’s belt. Keep in mind that children from 6 years old may join us as they will be connected to the dog with a second person.
This trip is ideal for schools and corporate groups but also for families and friends who would like to share a great hiking experience.
A perfect way to discover nature without ending up exhausted, if you are interested in this hiking tour with dogs, request to book this trip and I will be happy to be your guide!
More info If you are more than 6 people, a second guide can join (up to 12 people). |
Since I was born, in the 1980's, I have been surrounded by dogs and cats. In fact, I took my first steps hanging from the fur of the dog at home. During my childhood I always stayed close to animals: cats, dogs, horses. I am a certified equestrian excursion leader.
It was finally with dog sledding that I found a way to combine my passion for animals, sports and the mountain.
In 2010 I started offering dog sledding tours, close to Verbier in Valais. In 2013 I obtained my diploma as a Dog Training Instructor. This allowed me to give mandatory courses to new dog owners, but mostly to learn much more about dogs.
Since I am also a certified mountain leader, I can also offer hikes with dogs over several days.
I live surrounded by my dogs. It's my daily life and my job, but above all it's my passion and my reason to move forward!

I had a very good experience booking the hike through Explore-Share. Communication with the team was prompt and clear and the booking process was seamless. The trip itself was also just perfect. Uroš was a fantastic guide, highly skilled and talented. The hike felt safe at all times, even on more exposed routes, thanks to him. He was always up to date on the weather forecast and planned the days around it, checked the conditions on the route ahead of me, if needed, discussed and adapted the routes to my level and always made sure I was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him, as well as Explore-Share.

Explore Share is a really usefull website that has a great overview of reviewed guides for a (in our case) hiking/climbing trip. During the booking I got assigned an assistent for Explore Share that helped solve questions that I might have. Great customer service, and I will come back again.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned a lot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!

It's the 2nd time we have been booking with Explore-Share. The booking was super easy and both Explore-Share and the guide were fast in their responses. We did rafting as a family with 3 kids for the first time in Slovenia. The guide (José) was super nice. He was doing everything he could to make everyone at ease with rafting (he gave clear explanations), have a great team spirit (we were joined by 2 other girls) and have a good time. We had lots of fun and the nature there is so beautiful. Thank you Explore-share and Soca splash for the great afternoon! I would recommend this activity to anyone without a doubt. My kids immediately told me they want to do rafting again soon !"
