Guide your dog sledding team of powerful Siberian Huskies through a breathtaking winter wonderland of snow-white landscapes, with the exhilarating rush of speed, an experience that will stay with you forever.

Meeting the Pack

Your adventure begins where you’ll meet your furry companions: the Siberian Huskies. These magnificent dogs, with their thick coats and piercing blue eyes, are born for the cold. At the kennels, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with these gentle giants, from playful puppies to seasoned sled dogs.

Training with the Mushers

Before you hit the trails, you’ll receive expert training from our experienced mushers. Learn the art of harnessing the dogs, commanding your team, and navigating this snowy terrain. You’ll quickly discover the incredible bond between musher and dog, as they work together in perfect harmony.

The Thrill of the Ride

Once you’re ready, it’s time to embark on your own husky adventure. As you step into the helm, you’ll feel the anticipation building. The Huskies, eager to race, let out a chorus of excited barks. With a flick of the wrist, you give the command, and the team surges forward.

The wind whips past your face as you glide through the snowy forests. The silence is broken only by the rhythmic padding of paws and the occasional bark of encouragement. The scenery is simply breathtaking: snow-capped trees, frozen lakes, and stunning mountain vistas.
