Husky Sledding
Drive or ride a team of Siberian or Alaskan huskies through snow-covered forest and tundra. Available from gentle 1-hour introductions to multi-day wilderness expeditions with overnight stays. Let the dogs do the work — experienced mushers will teach you commands, and the sound of paws on packed snow through silent Arctic forest is something you never forget.
