  • ski-joering-abondance

    Ski joëring at Lake Plagnes

    What is it? A harnessed horse or pony pulls a skier behind a rigid frame on a groomed piste.

    Anyone can have a go at Ski Joering! You don’t need to be an expert skier, or a horseback rider, you just need to know how to keep your skis parallel or take a beginner’s drag lift.

    We will adapt the horse’s speed in relation to the skier’s level. And then you are off for an hour of fun, walking, trotting, or galloping for the most adventurous!

    Children from the age of 9 with a 1st Star skiing level can go along with adults. Groups are welcome, reservation required.

    1-hour excursion: €50
