GEILO HUSKY TASTER

Within walking distance from the center of Geilo, we have a pleasant camp and a dog sledding trail that goes on the Ustedalsfjorden.

With "Dog sledding - a taster" you get instruction from experienced dogsleddrivers (mushers) before you get to try driving a dogsled all by yourself.

You will be met by a camphost who will show you how to drive the sled. Two guests per dog team; one sits in the sled, while the other drives. Halfway through, you can change places if you wish. In front, you have a guide to show the way and help if challenges arise. When you return to camp, it's time to thank the dogs for the trip, take pictures, talk to the guides, and we have a warm fire you can sit by, and are served hot blackcurrant toddy or coffee.

Our camphost is present and can answer all dogsledding questions. You are most welcome to sit in the camp for as long as you wish, and it is possible to bring your own barbecue food. We provide barbecue sticks, a grill grate and a hot fire perfect for grilling.

If you are in large groups, one group sits in the camp around the fire while the other group is out on a trip, then you switch.

This tour is suitable for everyone, including guests with various challenges or limitations. Contact Geilo Husky for arrangements at booking@geilohusky.com
