Dogsledding experience
1.- Before departure:
-
Instruction about how to drive a sled
-
Information about Siberian huskies
-
Connecting with our dogs
-
Prepare dogs for dogsledding
-
Place dogs in front of the sled
-
Because the dogs are eager to go sledding is the focus on them and you, so no time for pictures. With groups where we go for more than one trip, the other ones can make pictures, but follow the signals/instruktion of our personal to avoid accidents/disturbance.
2.- Sledtour with guide. Some stops will be made with information about the nature here in the north and check if you and the dogs are okay. During the trip are no camera's allowed, during the breaks it's okay. The guide can make pictures/movie during the tour.
3.- Return:
-
Thanks to the dogs
-
Time to make some nice pictures with your dogs
-
Help to bring them back to their cage
Highlights
It's nice for you and the dogs to met each other before we start to action. In the kennel we will inform you more about our dogs and Siberian huskies. Come really in contact with the dogs of your team, so they look forward to drag you through the great white nature. Together we decide which tour is the best for you that day.
After that you get a short instruction how to use the sled and you help to set a harness on the dogs and place them in front of the sled. Here you will experience how eager they are to drag you. You will start your trip over lakes and through the forest where a guide follows to support and for security. By coming back on the farm it's nice if you help to bring the dogs back in their area after thanking them for the nice trip.
Nordic lunch in our grillkåta
After de dogsledding experience we will warm up in our grillkåta and enjoy our Nordic lunch. Here you will experience the taste of the North with reindeer meat rolled in tunnbröd + cheese of the region and grilled salmon with potato gratäng and warm veggies. You will surely enjoy the meal around the fireplace. Please inform us if you prefer a special diet or allergies.
