Tips if you are going to do Skijoring in France

This post is for you if you are one of the many people who have asked what it is and how it is possible. Yes, indeed! Forests, pastures, and beaches aren't the only places where horses can be found. In fact, this activity has been carried out for decades and is also known as harness skiing. Furthermore, it is regarded as one of Europe's most active supporters of the activity. This interest is generated not just by the federation, but also by local and foreign tourists. Here are five reasons why this activity is so popular, and why you should be a part of the experience.

1. Enjoy a unique activity in the snow

Are you fed up with the same old winter activities? Do you want to experiment with something new? Why not give joring skiing a try? We'll explain why. Indeed, this pastime is an unusual and refreshing way to spend the winter and snow. Most French ski resorts, including Alpe d'Huez, Mont Dore, and Les Arcs, offer horse-drawn sleighs along with your stay. We assure you that it will be full of fun, laughter and an adrenaline rush! You'll be treated to a combination of feelings not found in the more well-known skiing variations. So, put your apprehensions aside, follow their directions, and have the time of your life in the snow.

2. It appeals to everyone - young and old

Age is never a limitation for skijoring. On the contrary, this equestrian sport can be adapted to your weight, age, or skill level. The horse chosen for the activity will be done after taking the necessary factors into account. Children as young as seven years old are assigned a pony or horse at an appropriate pace for a gliding lesson which is tailor-made for them. If you are concerned about the safety practice, don't worry because we've considered this too. For the tandem activity, a guide is provided to ensure that their first experience with tethered skiing is both safe and enjoyable. One thing's for sure, your little ones will have a great time, and this ski-joëring session will surely be THE talk of the town during the first post-holiday break.

3. Try it by yourself or in tandem

Skill level is quite essential. So, if you consider yourself a seasoned skier, an experienced skier, and a horse connoisseur, you can ski-jor alone or in tandem. Enjoy this unique moment with the animal accompanying you while wearing skis and allowing yourself to get carried away by the enchantment of the occasion. The instructor's briefing is still required for you to fully comprehend the procedures and safety precautions to be followed. After that, grab the controls and get started. If you have no prior expertise, don't worry! Just follow the guide's instructions and make the most of this experience. Together, you will be carried away by the horse, which will release enough adrenaline to make you feel like you're in a cloud of snow!

4. It’s a sport, after all

Of course, you must remember this. Ski-joring is further proof that sport and enjoyment go hand in hand. Adrenaline rushes, slides, entertainment, and feelings... All of this does not diminish the activity's well-deserved reputation as an equestrian sport. It is an intense physical exercise that is not felt during the activity, given the joy and rush of adrenaline released throughout the session, due to the usage of arms, shoulders, calves, and the limit of the entire body. It goes without saying that 25 minutes of skiing burns 200 calories, the equivalent of a nice tiramisu. Don't think of winter as a time to relax; instead, leave your blanket at home and explore new experiences.

5. For animal lovers' enjoyment

Yes, harness skiing allows you to make close contact with the animal you're towing, the horse. This experience will be enhanced by a relationship between you and the horse, with which you will form a special bond. The beast's strength will present you with unrivalled experiences, especially since the pace of sliding and the adrenaline it provides are highly dependent on it. You, the horse, and the snowy mountains will merge into one, making it a unique experience with lots of fun guaranteed. If there is any expert advice we can provide you, it is to enjoy your activity without reservation and to avoid making this the last time you interact with this sport. Are you recognising yourself when you read these words? Then it's time to make your reservations!

My decision has been made! When will I be able to ski?

From the middle of winter to the beginning of spring, this activity is available. Even if this is not the case, schedule your joring skiing session for the upcoming winter season ahead of time. Despite snow availability, our centres are open all year to answer your queries and make any early reservations. Schedule your skijoring session today!
