The owner clearly is passionate about sledding and her dogs and her passion trickles down to all the staff who also enjoy being among the huskies and the customers. Expect a thorough introduction to the sport once you are outfitted with boots and jackets Then you are off- almost immediately the kennels are behind you and open rolling fields with amazing vistas are in front and around you.

“Very good activity. Well organised except the address on here says the wrong pick up point, go to the raddison blu. Really lovely guides and dogs. Very clean dog compounds. The hike was almost an hour uphill which almost killed me as i am very unfit, but i made it! The dogs will pull when walking as is their nature, these are working dogs, not lead trained pets. So you need to be strong and confident to take the dog. Would highly recommend. But take some water with you if unfit to keep you going. And you will get very hot when hiking unless weather is terrible. A lovely experience.…”
