Ten kilometres of pure Arctic wilderness, powered by nothing but the drive of a husky team and the silence of the northern forest.
After a short transfer to our local kennel, your musher gets you briefed and confident before the dogs pull you out into the wild. You and your companion take turns at the helm, steering through ancient taiga forest and across frozen marshlands on trails that trace the paths of early Arctic explorers. It’s raw, it’s beautiful, and it’s unlike anything else.
Back at the kennel, catch your breath over hot drinks and biscuits as the musher shares stories of life with the pack.
Suitable for families. Children ride in the sled.
