Our Drive Your Own Team Itinerary:
On our drive your own team of huskies tour, after we arrive at the kennel we give you some warm clothes and instructions on how to drive your own team. Just remember to never let go of your sled, focus on the dogs and use your brake!
Each person will drive their own team of 3-4 dogs. This depends on the trail conditions and your weight.
During our drive your own team tour we mush around 18 kms on a varied home groomed trail. The area is hand selected and the trail is created by ourselves. Thus ensuring that we cover a varied landscape of forest areas, open spaces, a creek, and swamps. Furthermore it also makes sure we drive in areas that are safe for novices but still exciting for more experienced drivers.
When we return to the kennel, you can help to feed your own team of dogs as well as help to unharness them before returning them into their yards.
We warm up by the fire with a cup of tea or coffee and a cinnamon roll. You can ask questions that you may have and cuddle with the puppies (if we have any) before heading back to town.
The drive your own team tour ends around 17:00

Driving our own husky sleigh in the moonlight. The temperature got down to -32 degrees Celsius, but we were supplied with plenty of warm clothing. We were able to harness and feed the dogs too. The guides were fantastic, super friendly and patient with us. I couldn’t recommend this highly enough. Thanks so much! Thanks read less

The only downside (for some) is that you have to do more travelling to reach the location. We had fantastic weather with proper cold temperatures (below -20). Kent, the owner is very relaxed and a likeable guy with a wealth of experience and a deep affection for his dogs. Would thoroughly rec read less

Most importantly, the dogs are really well looked after and they are the focal point of everything the family owners do. Loved how respectful they are of the local Sami people and how well they collaborate with them to ensure that the wildlife habitat is not disturbed because of the sledding expeditions. Wishing Jordana, Kent and family all the best for the future. read less

The people and dogs were all fantastic, and I don't think you can find any better surroundings for day trips. The winter landscape shifted from narrow passages through forest and open expansions across lakes, disturbed only by our own tracks and wildlife. We were lucky enough to have clear skies and got to see a spectacular light show as aurora borealis graced us with her presence. We've already started planning for our return next year. read less

They provide everyone with proper winter overalls, gloves and shoes. One thing you might want to bring is some sort of ski-mask/face warmer in case it's really cold the day you go on this tour. We had around -11 Celsius so it was fine, but if it drops to -20 or colder you'll definitely feel it on your fade. read less

At the beginning we were a bit nervous about us handling the totally motivated dogs just waiting to run, but it was easier than expected. We really appreciated the Fika afterwards at the fireplace where we learned a lot about dogsledding in a familiar atmosphere.
We had an unforgettable day with super friendly people and great dogs!
We can and will definitely recommend it!
Thank you so much! read less - Stephanie E.
