ALTOS DEL VALLE

THE DOGS
The refuge counts with a Siberian Husky and Alaskan kennel that produces our racing and draught dogs. Along with them, Eco, the great Alaskan white wolf majestically keeps guards of the movements around the refuge.

THE RACING AND PACK SLEDS
The hand made sled manufacture has a millenary tradition that comes from the countries around the North Pole. In Akeaata this task has been maintained for sixteen years. In a small workshop, the noble patagonian lenga is prepared, curved, and pressed to craft the sleds. These are sold along with different accessories all around the Patagonia and they have reached France and Spain.


THE ACTIVITIES

During the winter several activities can be practiced: cross-country skiing, dog sled tours, trekking in the woods wearing snow rackets. The children have small sleds available to sled through the snowy ladders. The firesides during the night gather the bravest people.
During the summer, the sled skies are replace by wheels, horse rides, and mountain bikes, for tours during the day and night. We always come back to the refuge where a friendly talk is held by the chimneyís fire along with a comforting drink.

SNOW CATS
Modern snow cats, where we tie a sled when needed, are used in the island, making thirty minutes rides (2,6 miles) and 4 hours rides (13 miles) allowing unsuspected sites to be discovered.
