Our Style
We have two sessions a day in the morning and afternoon. At each session we take only one reserved group. This can be from 2-8 people. Only your group will be here for the session, so you have our undivided attention. We take from 2-4 people on each trail trip. There is time for us to make two trail trips in one session, because instruction will be given to the whole group.
Our Wooden Dog Sled
Traditional and hand-crafted by Daniel in wood, but with re-designed joints to provide incredible flexibility. Improves sled handling from a "truck" to a "sports car". Makes first-time riding not merely possible but also easy and fun.
Our Dogsledding trail
7 km in total, flat but with lots of curves. Trails are compacted and graded after every snowfall to provide a fast and safe course.
Our Passenger Sled
Example sled run- in a group of four people, one person is riding the dogsled, and three are riding in the passenger sled pulled by the snowmobile ahead of the dogsled team. We rotate positions as each rider travels their portion of the trail. The people riding in the passenger sled are facing backward so they can observe and photograph the rider.
Our Instruction Room
In our heated instruction room, we will check your clothing and provide you with jackets, boots, hats and gloves to make sure you are warm enough for your dogsledding. You will watch our instruction video while standing on our practice sled.
