What to Expect During the Tour

Meeting and Introduction

Your day begins at the husky farm, where a friendly guide will meet you in the parking lot. They’ll provide a brief, clear set of driving instructions—important because many participants are new to sledding. Despite the casual summer setting, safety is a priority, and the guide stays with you throughout the activity.

The Sledding Trail

Once ready, you’ll hop into your self-driven sled. The trail is designed to be accessible and fun, with gentle terrains and scenic views of the summer countryside. The sensation of guiding your own team of energetic huskies is a thrill—imagine the thrill of controlling a team of powerful dogs as they traverse the landscape, pulling you along wheels instead of snow.

Participants have praised the supportive guidance and the opportunity to drive themselves, with many noting that it’s “more fun than I expected” and “a chance to really connect with the dogs.” The activity is suitable for a range of ages and fitness levels, making it an inclusive option.

The Farm Visit

After the sledding, you’ll return to the farm for a meet-and-greet with the dogs. This is a relaxed, interactive part of the experience, where you can pet the huskies, take photos, and learn about their lives and training. The guides are eager to share insights, answer questions, and dispel any misconceptions about husky life.

Guests often comment on how well-cared-for and friendly the dogs are—this isn’t just a tourist attraction, but a place where animals are treated with respect and love. The farm visit offers a valuable behind-the-scenes look at the dogs’ work and personalities.
