A taste of mushing

Husky ride in northern Sweden. This is a shorter tour suitable for those who want to try driving their own dog sled under the supervision of a guide. You don’t need any prior knowledge of dog sledding or be in top physical condition to manage the tour with ease. It’s suitable for most people, from families with children to seniors. We travel through forests and across marshlands.

How it works

At the kennel, your group will be welcomed by your guide, and you’ll be provided with warm clothes, shoes, and gloves. You’ll meet the dogs and receive a thorough explanation of how to drive a dog sled. You’ll also help harness the dogs. Then, you’ll drive the dog sled in pairs – one rides, and one drives. After half the journey, you’ll have the opportunity to switch places.

A great experience which I really can recommend! We had three fantastic guides and instructors. One Swedish, one Estonian and one French and they really worked as an great Team.
