Fatbike Joering
New! Your canine companions can now join (or guide!) you along the Grande Évasion trail, a 4.5 km loop where you'll avoid crossings with other bikes or dogs.
A thrilling activity for canine pulling Sport enthusiasts, Fatbike joering requires experience and mastery of the human-dog duo. Your dog should be comfortable with pulling, and you must be ready to handle speed and focus. For a safe and enjoyable adventure, proper equipment is essential: a pulling harness, bungee line, and a well-maintained Fatbike.
Are you and your companion ready to take off? We offer all the necessary equipment for rent!
