We strongly recommend wearing warm winter clothing. It can be rented separately before departure at extra charge.
It’s better to be dressed overly warm than “underdressed”, especially on longer safari programs. In cold weather, we recommend applying no-water based winter cream for face and cover open skin areas tightly. Bring gloves or better mittens, a good hat, hand/foot warmers and goggles.
Please take off your gloves/mittens when touching the huskies. They love to play with gloves and might break it easily. Do not be afraid of dogs, as they are genetically friendly to people. Do not feed the dogs.

Please always bear in mind that one sledge can take max. 2 adults + 1 small child (under 7 y.o.). The final decision about seating is made by the host on the spot, as it may depend on the participants’ weight, height, etc.
When your party is 2 people: 1 adult + a child older than 7 y.o., you can sit in one sled, paying adult price and child price.
When your party is 3 people: 2 adults + a child older than 7 y.o., one of the 3 people will have to share a sled with another participant.
Single supplements are not available for this program.
Note: As a rule of thumb, we take small groups of up to 8 people per ride (4 sled teams). If your group is larger, we’ll split it into two and run the program in rotating turns, ensuring every guest enjoys a personal and unrushed experience.
Musher-driven option is available only when booked in advance.
