About
Two people share a sled; one drives, and one sits on the sled. During the half point, the seats will be switched, so that everyone gets to drive the sled.
Upon arrival, you will be greeted by our personnel who leads you to the kennel to meet the dogs. Your guide makes sure everyone is dressed up warmly and will then hold a short driving lesson on how to control the sled. The guide will lead the tour through a beautiful forest, making a few stops on the way so that everyone can take some pictures. After the trip, the guide will lead you into a Lappish style hut where hot drinks (coffee/tea) are served. While enjoying the drinks and the warmth of the bonfire, the guide will tell stories about the sled dogs as well as answer your questions. Before leaving there is a chance to take the last pictures and give out the last hugs for the dogs after which taxi will take you back to your hotel.
The kennel owners and the guides are all passionate mushers who have dedicated their lives to the sport and the dogs. There are approximately 100 Alaskan Huskies living on the kennel and the dog pack consists all the way from puppies to elite racing dogs and retired oldies.
Please note that all children must be accompanied by an adult!
