Preparing for the Adventure

Before setting out, you will receive a safety briefing to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience. We use carts with hydraulic brakes and good suspension on our tours. Afterward, it's time to embark on the scenic trail.

The Dry land Sledding Experience

Two and two guests will have a private cart, led by a Musher from Snow Dogs and pulled by 10-12 Siberian Huskies. The trail covers a distance of 3-5 km and typically takes about 30-40 minutes, including stops for photos along the way. During the journey, your Musher will explain the basics of dog sledding and how to work alongside these incredible dogs.
