Calling all dog enthusiasts! This tour is a must for you. Huskies, cherished residents of the North, eagerly await your visit, and you’ll quickly understand their popularity. Pet them, pose for photos, and hear stories about their lives. Born to run, these sled dogs showcase their prowess on our 7-10 km safari, offering an exhilarating firsthand experience. After receiving guidance from our seasoned mushers, it’s time for you to take the reins and drive the team of huskies towing the sled. This adventure allows you to fully embrace the spirit of the Arctic!
Our husky farm is located a few minutes’ walk from the resort.
Our guides have the discretion to allocate individuals to each sleigh, ensuring an even load for every dog team.
It's important to note that our guides do not serve as sled drivers; therefore, participants should have sufficient physical fitness and body control to fully enjoy the experience of being mushers.
