The great outdoors during the winter is fun for humans, but dogs don't snowboard or ski. Enter snowshoeing with dogs, a fun winter sport you can both enjoy.

agree  AllegroTrans
2 hrs
  -> Thank you.
neutral  Ph_B (X): The dog element ("cani-") is missing. See writeaway's ref. « Il s’agit d’une randonnée en raquettes bien plus physique, puisqu’on est tiré avec force par un husky via un harnais. L’enjeu est donc de marcher tout en retenant le chien.
5 hrs
agree  Anais Devenish: snowshoes
6 hrs
disagree  Victoria Britten: The reference writeaway gives (while agreeing with you) makes it clear that this a sporting activity involving dogs (whence ‘cani-‘) and snow shoes, NOT a particular type of snow shoe - for humans or indeed dogs!
9 hrs
  -> I'm inclined to agree with you. That wuld explain all those sled dog pictures.

If not "tour", then "walk"? > "husky snowshoe walk"? Sounds like great fun!

neutral  B D Finch: Not necessarily a "tour" and not necessarily with huskies.// Certainly, huskies are probably the best dogs for it and used for commercial cani-raquettes, but people can use other breeds of dog too, especially if individually/privately organised.
51 mins
  -> Tour, walk, etc. And all pics I've seen show huskies (any better dog where snow is concerned?). Snow shoe still ok? :-)

agree  philgoddard: Sounds a bit odd to me. I'd have thought dogs would pull you over if you're on snowshoes.
4 hrs
  -> Thanks Phil. Perhaps they're trained not to pull too hard at the wrong times.

  -> Thanks Yolanda
agree  writeaway: As I posted in my references. But is Asker referring to the actual sports activity or just the shoes worn when doing the sport
2 days 5 hrs
  -> According to the Quechua website, the snowshoes and boots used are no different than for ordinary snowshoing. https://www.quechua.fr/conseils/la-cani-raquette-vous-connai... and https://www.quechua.fr/conseils/choisir-son-equipement-de-ra...
