During winter, the Nordic Ranch of Méribel invites you to discover Ski-Joëring and Pony-Sledding:
2 disciplines combining sliding and animal traction!
The Ranch offers you baptisms of about 20 minutes, alone or in pairs, to discover these new sensations of sliding!
** For the Pony-Sledge **
/! Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult. The adult can accompany the child:
– On the sledge (in this case you have to buy a place for the adult as well);
– To hold the pony and walk in front of it (in these cases, no need to buy a seat for the adult).
** For Ski-Joëring **
This baptism takes place on the snow-coverred arena and in the forest: the horse is ridden by the supervisor and pulls the skier behind him, thanks to the use of a harness and a frame.
– A 2nd star level in skiing is required: knowing how to turn with parallel skis + mastery of the snow plow
– Equip yourself with your ski equipment: jacket and pants, ski boots, gloves, helmet, and above all, YOUR SKIS: these must not exceed 1m50 to avoid the risk of injuring the horse!
