⏱️ The cani-kart ride itself lasts 1h30, but plan for a half-day to make the most of the full experience: meeting the pack of Nordic dogs (Husky and Malamute), a first hands-on contact with the dogs, a tour of the kennel, a conversation with Rémi your musher about his passion for dog sledding, and a friendly snack on your return. 🐾 The wheeled kart takes a maximum of 2 people, with a combined weight limit of 220 kg per team. Groups can include up to 5 people (2 adults and 3 children). Bookings require a minimum of 2 people. The minimum age is 3 years old and participants should be in reasonable physical condition. 🌡️ Outings are scheduled according to outside temperatures: to protect the wellbeing and safety of the dogs, no rides take place above 20°C. Start times are therefore weather-dependent — the Takamaka team will confirm the details when you book. 🎒 All activity equipment is provided and supervised by the musher. On your end, bring mountain-appropriate clothing suited to the weather, along with trainers or hiking boots and comfortable, flexible trousers. Transport to the activity site (Chaîne des Puys or Sancy, depending on the date) is not included in the price.

Why choose Takamaka ?
🐕 Cani-kart in Auvergne with Takamaka Clermont is first and foremost a meeting — with exceptional dogs, a passionate musher, and a volcanic landscape that reveals itself in a completely new way. For 7 years in Clermont-Ferrand, Takamaka has built this activity around a clear belief: cani-kart is far more than a pulled ride. It's a full immersion into the world of dog sledding, brought to life by Rémi, a professional musher who shares his passion generously — kennel tour, breed introductions, stories from life with the pack. 🦮 The wheeled kart format is a genuine advantage: it makes the experience available all year round, no snow required, across the trails of the Chaîne des Puys or the Massif du Sancy. And the 20°C temperature limit isn't a restriction — it's a sign of serious animal welfare ethics that runs through everything Takamaka does. With 30 years of outdoor adventure expertise rooted in Annecy, Takamaka brings the same rigorous standards — CEN-certified equipment, professional supervision, and genuine care — to every cani-kart outing in Auvergne. 🌋
