Join us for an unforgettable Summer Dog Sledding tour, combined with a visit to our unchained
Siberian Husky Kennel at Vallholt Farm, conveniently located between Akureyri and Lake Mývatn
in North Iceland.
Upon arrival at Vallholt Kennel, you will be greeted by one of our experienced mushers and our
beautiful Siberian Huskies. We ensure your comfort by providing access to toilet facilities and
offering additional clothing and gear, so you can enjoy the dog sledding experience to the fullest.
Next, you will have the chance to meet the dogs up close. Our musher will share fascinating
details about the Huskies, including their personalities and family connections, allowing you
to get to know these remarkable animals before the adventure begins.
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.
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
alongside these incredible dogs.
Following the Summer Dog Sledding adventure, there will be ample time to spend at the kennel,
where you can cuddle and take photos with the friendly Siberian Huskies.
The total tour time is approximately 1.5 hours, including the kennel visit. For groups or private
tours, please contact us via email at

Please note: If the weather is warm, tours may be cancelled to ensure the safety and
well-being of the dogs.

.
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.
