details about the Huskies, including their personalities and family connections, allowing you
to get to know these remarkable animals before the adventure begins.

Preparing for the Adventure

Before setting out, you will receive a safety briefing to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience.
We use carts with hydraulic brakes and good suspension on our tours. Afterward, it’s time to
embark on the scenic trail.

The Summer Dog Sledding Experience

Two guests share a private cart, led by a musher from Snow Dogs and pulled by 10–12 Siberian
Huskies. The trail covers a distance of 3–5 km and typically takes around 30–40 minutes,
including stops for photos along the way.

During the journey, your musher will explain the basics of dog sledding and how to work

.

We welcome you to Snow Dogs Un-chained Kennel. At our farm Vallholt we have about 25 Siberian Husky sled dogs. A Musher/guide will show you how our dogs live in their kennel and how we operate the dog sledding tours.

Our dogs are always loose in the kennel and we have separate fences for them.  They love to be outside all the time but when weather is very bad we have indoor area for them to be in.

They are all friendly and love all the attention they get.  And a good belly rub is their favorite.  There will be plenty of time to take pictures of you and your family with your favorite sled dog.
