A cold breath of forest meets the rig as dogs strain forward — paws and paws of Siberian Huskies and Norwegian Elkhounds eager to run. The path threads through mixed beech and fir, the guide riding a bike behind to steady the team as riders learn to steer a wheeled rig or swap to a sledge when winter brings real snow. Sounds sharpen: harness clips, the pant of the lead dog, wind through branches that have watched locals move these hills for centuries.
