Become a musher

This dog sledding tour lets you drive your own dog sled (a musher is the driver of the sled) in a hilly terrain. You need a base fitness so that you can help the dogs in the climbs. You don't need to have any prior experience from dog sledding to complete the tour.

When
December–January, daily 9 am–12.30 pm
February–March, daily 12.30–4 pm

Price
From SEK 1950/person

How it works

The tour starts when you arrive at the kennel. You are welcomed by our guide and equipped with warm clothing, shoes and gloves (included).

The guide then introduces you to the dogs and gives a detailed description of how to handle the dog sled. You help get the dogs ready in the teams. You then drive two and two – one sits on the sled the other controls the sled standing behind the seat.

After half the distance we stop and make a fire and enjoy a warm snack. Now you have the opportunity to change positions with each other.

We are located in Granö, about an hour northwest of Umeå in northern Sweden.

Another incredible experience: our third visit and driving own dog team through the forest never gets old. Professional people with excellent animal welfare and friendly service. We’ll be back next winter.
