In pairs you will take turns mushing (driving a dog sledge team) a team of 6 dogs in pairs. We will pick you up at your accommodation and take you to our boat house in the sea area, where you will be equipped with clothes and boots for the trip. We will then drive to our kennel which is right next to the snowmobile-free area 12 kilometers outside Longyearbyen.

There you will meet the dogs and be taken through what you need to know before we start putting harnesses on the dogs. At this point there will be plenty of activity in the kennel as all of them will want to come on the trip. You may partake in the harnessing of the dogs if you want to.

During the day you will begin to be able to tell the difference between the dogs and to get to know their personalities. You will experience the dynamics of the dog-sledge team and will most likely be surprised to see that dogs as tough as these can be so kind and adoring. This trip does not require any experience with dogsledding.
