Self drive husky tour 5-hours
Experience the feeling of sliding in a snowy, untouched and quiet winter landscape with a friend. You share a sled, one driving and one sitting. Your team with alaskan huskies will follow the experienced guide`s team.
We stop halfway for a rest and prepare lunch over an open fire. Here are good opportunities to take photos and cuddle with the dogs.
For those who want to learn more and experience longer adventures, we can offer expeditions tours, both in the more sheltered but snowy forest landscape or in the more wind-exposed landscape in the Swedish mountains.
