Dog Sledding on Snow

Dog sledding tour on snow and a visit to our unchained Siberian Husky Kennel at our farm Vallholt between Akureyri and Lake Mývatn, North Iceland 445 km (275 miles) from Reykjavík.

Our guests (groups of 2 to 4 persons) have a private sled with a Musher from Snow Dogs with 8-10 Siberian Huskies pulling us on a scenic trail of 6 - 8 km, taking approximately 40-70 minutes with picture stops. 

Your Musher will explain to you the basics in dog sledding and how to work with these amazing dogs. You also have the opportunity to help mush the sled with one of our guides if you want to try it.

After the dog sledding adventure there is plenty of time at the kennel to meet, cuddle and take pictures with the lovely Siberian Huskies.

Total tour time around 2  hours with the kennel visit.

Dog sledding tour operated on snow or ice depending on the trail condition.

Note that sometimes the dogs get very loud when we are about to leave for the Dog sled ride, they just want to run not wait....

Coming to Iceland in the winter it can come in handy to have warm clothing good shoes and goggles. 

Driving in Iceland in Iceland winter is much safer with studded tires and 4x4 cars.
