We offer you a self-guided husky safari with a track length 5 km.

Approximate riding time is 20-30 min

This  time can vary, as it always includes stop-over and it’s dependent on the weather conditions. During the stop-over musher and passenger can swap.

We will visit a small family-owned husky kennel, located some 30 min drive from Levi center. Kennel owners are professional sport dog mushers and have specially trained Arctic-Alaskan huskies. This breed was created by crossbreeding in the beginning of 20th century in Alaska especially for dog racing during the Gold rush period. There are over 50 dogs in the kennel, including some puppies.

Upon arrival, you will get complete instructions of driving (mushing) the dog sled on your own and then immediately start the safari. Focus on the thrill of riding your own sled to enjoy it. The best part of mushing is not just the ride. It’s about building a bond with these incredible husky dogs. By the end of the ride, you’ll feel part of the team. The track lies partly in the forest and partly on a beautiful frozen river (depending on the kennel). After the ride you can walk around the kennel, pet the dogs and take photos with them. Inside a cozy teepee where you can warm up around the open fire, have a hot drink with cookies. The host will tell about life with the dogs and answer questions.

Note! We don’t recommend this program for very small children (under 4 y.o.) due to longer time outdoors.
