Welcome to dogsledding at its best! This is real mushing in the real arctic, above the arctic circle. Learn to command and drive your own dog team getting a taste for mushing through complete hands on experience. Our tour allows you to interact with real Northern Arctic husky sled dogs, not racing hounds. For your dog sledding experience we offer several different tours. Our introductory tour is The Fabulous Fun Run where we run for about one hour on an exciting and unique trail system like none other. Then there’s the Tour to Picnic Lake with a nice campfire and hot lunch. Our Overnight Tour takes you to a spacious and comfortable bush cabin up in the hills overlooking a tranquil lake. Out at the cabin you can do some snowshoeing and viewing the Aurora away from the city lights. Half-day and full day trips are also available. In February we can do a 5-day dog sledding package right from your cabin at the Arctic Chalet.  In March and April we offer our 7 day Husky Adventure package - Cabin to Cabin Dog Sledding. We take up to five dog teams at a time with each person driving 5 or 6 of our beautiful White Huskies. For more information, please visit our website or give us a call.
