Summer safari with the Huskies

First, you get training on how to ride ‘sleds’ that now have tires! After that, together with the huskies, we head to a 3-5 km route, depending on the weather. There are a few stops on the way where you can take pictures and give water to the dogs. When we return to the kennel, we let the dogs loose in their running enclosure. This is a chance to pet the dogs and see how different each dog is in its character, movements and play. Before leaving, we enjoy a moment in the kennel’s hut with soft drinks.
