THE EXPERIENCE
Your day in the north.
Why choose just one way to explore the snow? We’ll begin at the handlebars, following our guide through the winter landscape to the husky farm. Waiting there is a very different kind of engine: a team of dogs who love to run.
Meet the mushers, find out how the sled works and get ready for an approximately 9 km husky ride. There’s something wonderful about heading down the trail behind a team, with the dogs setting the pace and the snowy forest slipping by.
Back at the farm, hot drinks and cookies give us time to warm up and ask those questions about husky life. Then it’s onto the snowmobiles again for the ride home. Quite a day out!
