Before and after the tour, you get to meet the eager sled dogs, learn more about how they work and hear stories from the guides about life as a dog musher.

Practical tips before the tour

Dress warmly and in layers, preferably with wool closest to the skin and a windproof outer layer. Warm mittens, a hat, a neck warmer and solid winter boots make the experience much better when you are sitting still in the sled or out in the cold for longer periods.

Try to arrive a little before departure so you have time to greet the dogs, get information from the guide and dress well before the tour starts.

Small details that lift the experience

Sunglasses and sunscreen can be a good idea even on cold days, especially when the light is strongly reflected in the snow. Feel free to bring a camera, but remember that you should focus on safety and steering if you are driving the sled yourself.

The guides know both the dogs and the terrain well, so the most important thing is to listen to the instructions and let the experience unfold at the right pace.
