About
On a big wooden sled covered with reindeerskins you will sit comfortably and enjoy the tour. A guide is driving the sled and 10-14 dogs pulls you through the lapland landscape. Half way trough the tour we will stop and make a fire and get some warm drinks. This tour is perfect for photographing and filming while the dogs are running. The professional guide is always nearby to answer any kind of questions.
We want everyone to participate in handling and preparing the dogs for the run. You will get the know the whole team up close and personal before we leave. We will teach you how to harness and hook on the dogs to the sled.
The tour is usually between 13-17 km, a little bit depending on the weather and trail conditions. When we come back to the kennel we give the dogs a treat. When they are finished and you have said thank you to them, we get the harnesses off and let all the dogs back into their kennels.
Included in the experience:
Winter boots, Overalls, large mittens and warm drinks by the fire included in the tour
What to bring
Warm clothes suitable for the weather to have underneath your overall, and hats we believe are personal so please bring your own
