of these trips is getting to know your own dogs which are very friendly and good
companions. Sled dogs love running ! The team works together under your instruction

and direction is required by the driver. Every participant will lead his/her own team of
four or six dogs, and travelling across a scenic winter landscape, our local dog handler
will teach you the secrets of dog sledding.
