Dog sledding - 4 hour trip

Want a memorable day on a sled?

Dog sledding for 4 hours gives you that real feeling of being on a trip with your completely own dog sled

If you want to go on a trip far beyond the normal, then you should try a trip with your own dog sled into the mountains behind Langedrag.

While on the 4 hour trip you will be on a real workout with nice stops along the way to pet and enjoy your time with the dogs, learn more about dog sledding and get some warmth back in your body. This is how you get the ultimate trip feeling. On this trip you will really get to know how it is to be a dog sledder and you will challenge yourself a bit more in some steeper hills and higher altitudes than our shorter trips. If you choose this trip you also be allowed to help put and take off the harnesses on our dogs and learn how to decide where to position dogs in your sled. You will become well acquainted with “your” dogs during the preparation, trip and petting sessions in the breaks. The trip itself lasts for about 3-3.5 hours. There will be a lunchbreak during the trip. If the weather is good we can promise you a fantastic view.

Because our dogs derive great pleasure from variation we have this trip every Monday and Thursday.

The 4 hour dog sledding fits for most 4 years and up. It is important that the person who is going to control the sled can move in snow and it also important to have good winter clothes. In the sled, most people can have good time as long as they are well clothed. This is a great way to get out into nature if you are handicapped or have other difficulties with moving in snow.

The trip includes warm lunch and warm drinks. It is important to give us a message in the comment field if you have allergies or anything else we must consider in that regard.

Price: 3000 kr for adults and 3000 kr for children 4 years and up. IMPORTANT! Please write the children’s age into the comment field.
