The experience

You arrive at 10:00 a.m. and get suited and booted in winter gear. The operator provides clothing if you don't have it. Then you meet the huskies, learn how to harness them, and take the reins of your own team. The dogs pull you through their favorite environment, Swedish forest and trail, where you might spot wildlife roaming around. The sledding itself is the core of the day: you are in control, not watching from a passenger seat.

After the run, you give the huskies their treat and tour the rest of the kennel to meet the other dogs. Then everyone gathers around an open fire in the grillhut for coffee or tea and a warm home-made stew. The whole experience runs about 4.5 hours from arrival to finish.
