About
Dog sledding is a traditional way of travelling across snow in the Arctic, and this experience gives visitors a chance to try it. You ride behind a team of friendly huskies, guided by a musher, as the sled moves through snowy landscapes. It is an active, outdoor visit that suits people who want to be out in the cold and in the open.
What the visit offers
- A ride with a team of huskies through snowy country
- A chance to see the dogs up close and get to know them
- A look at mushing, the traditional Arctic method of travel
The experience combines the thrill of the ride with the calm of a winter landscape. Much of the appeal lies in the dogs themselves, which are known for their friendliness and energy, and in the simple pleasure of moving quietly over snow with them.
Planning your visit
Dress warmly in layers, with waterproof outer clothing and sturdy footwear, since you will be outside for the whole ride. Check with the operator in advance for the details of timings, booking and what is included, as these are not set out here.
Dog sledding is a good choice for visitors interested in Arctic culture and wildlife-friendly outdoor activities. Consider combining it with other winter experiences in the surrounding area to make the most of your trip.
