About This Adventure

Duration: 2 hours
Many people have tried dogsledding, but far less have joined a training tour on an ATV or by training wagon.
Join us on a training run preparing our dogs for the winter. You will meet our enthusiastic Alaskans, always happy and eager to run, help us to harness up a team, and come along on a trip with the dogs. Back in the kennel, we finish the tour with coffee/tea and homemade muffins in a rustic hut with open fire and last but not least: puppy time! Playing with the puppies is the perfect way of socializing them and therefore very important for us and fun for you! Be aware that the trip can be cancelled to short notice due to the weather
