Take a seat as a passenger on one of our sleds or steer a sled, pulled by 3 or 4 eager huskies, all by yourself! Experience with mushing is not required... just the will to try something new and very special. On this tour you can take a ride as a passenger on a sled steered by a guide, or you can steer a sled yourself with your spouse, friend or child(ren) as passenger. You can change places so everyone who wants to can have a go at steering . About the tour: We start with introducing ourselves and our dogs.  With Hike Huskytours there is always at least one person who speaks English. We walk you through the equipment and give you clear and thorough instructions on the do’s and don´ts of dogsledding (mushing). Then the moment has arrived to line up the dogs for the sled.  So far they have been following our doings closely and making their consent clearly known, but now they burst out in a nearly deafening hollering and howling out of pure enthusiasm.  Luckily this doesn’t take very long: as soon as we lift the snowanchor and release the brake (softly!) they fall quiet and we glide through a silent white winterworld with the dogs running happily in front of us. The guide has the foremost sled, the participants follow (overtaking each other is strictly forbidden!) The trail is about 2 kilometers long; after each round you can switch from steering to being passenger or vice-versa, so that everyone (as long as they are over 18 years of age) has the opportunity to experience what it feels like to be a musher. The guides sled can take about 250 kilos, so most families can enjoy the ride all together. Kids usually can choose every round with whom they want to ride. Good to know: • You always take part in our activities at your own risk. • To steer a dogsled requires a minimum age of 18 years. • There are not many companies who offer the opportunity to steer a sled yourself as a relatively short activity.  One of the important reasons for this is that a definite risk exists for the wellbeing of the dogs. The guide therefore determines who of the participants is deemed able to steer a sled.  This decision is final and not subject to discussion! We want to be able to ensure the safety of both our guests and our dogs.. • The use of alcohol or other drugs, in advance of or during our activities is not allowed. Please also refrain from smoking in the vicinity of the dogs: they have a very sensitive sense of smell and really dislike the stench of smoke. • Warm and windtight clothing, gloves and a hat or cap of some kind are important: it can get quite cold on Branäsmountain and you will be sitting still on the sled. • When it snows or there is a strong wind, wearing (ski)glasses is advisable. • Skiboots are NOT allowed. • Do not forget to bring along your camera and spare batteries.  Keep them close to your body: low temperatures very rapidly degrade the capacity of batteries. Season: Week 52 – 14  depending on snow- and trailconditions. Time and prices: • Wednesday, friday and saturday: 9.45, 10.00 or 10.30 (to be determined) and 13.00, 13.30, 13.45 or 14.00 (to be determined).  Different times can be agreed upon. • During the holidayweeks we are often present on other weekdays too and this activity can be booked also.  • sek. 450:- per adult, sek. 350:- per child 11-14 years, 250:- per child up till 10 years.

Experiencing how it feels to steer a sled, pulled by eager huskies, is definitely something an exotic and unique.  This activity combines our popular “steer a sled yourself” activity with a longer tour of about 45 minutes! First learn the basics of dogsledding on an easy trail of about 2 kilometers. Then we will make a long, adventurous tour through the enchanting winterworld of Branäs. Those who want to, and are deemed capable by the guides, can steer a sled during this long tour also. Passengers can ride on the sled(s) of our guide(s). Children will get several opportunities to change seats. Experience with dogsledding is not required, just the will to try something new and very special.

The guides sled can take about 250 kilos, so most families can enjoy the ride all together. Kids usually can choose every round with whom they want to ride. When we have practised enough, it is time to return and prepare for the ‘real work’: a long tour of about 45 minutes through the wilderness beyond Branäs.  There are several options: going along for the ride as a passenger, steering a sled yourself or both: along the route you can trade places. It is always the main guide who decides who is deemed capable of steering a sled; we want to minimize the risk for the wellbeing of our dogs and damage to our equipment (see more below).  The long trail on Branäs is not an easy one and makes quite some demands on the mushers.   We look at, among other things, for: a good mental and physical condition, a good sense of balance, a well developed sense of responsibility and  the insight not to overestimate your own capabilities. For safety reasons there is also a guide on a snowscooter following along on the long tour.  (Going along as a passenger on the snowscooter is not possible, by the way). Afterwards there is ample opportunity to thank the dogs and reward them with a cuddle!
