A thin blue light rests across the spruce tops as the lead husky strains forward and the sleigh begins to glide — you feel the cold press against your cheeks while the dogs' breath fogs in quick white plumes. Tracks cut through a quiet mountain clearing; ahead, the ridgelines of the Postăvaru massif rise, black against the sky.

Confirm meeting logistics
Operators typically send contact details one day before; re-confirm meeting point and transport time since the start can be ~2 hours away from Brașov.
