After a short safety briefing, your guide will show you how to control the sled and introduce you to the basics of mushing. Then it's time to take the reins and experience the excitement of being a real musher.


The approximately 3 km husky trail takes you through peaceful winter landscapes, with the energetic dogs pulling you along the forest trail. It's a fun and memorable experience for couples, families, friends and nature lovers.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if there is no snow?

No worries! The husky adventure continues even without snow. If winter conditions do not provide enough snow for a traditional sled ride, we offer a special cart ride on wheels pulled by our huskies.
The experience is very similar to dog sledding — you will still enjoy the excitement of the dogs running, the beautiful countryside trails, and the unique connection with the huskies. In fact, the wheeled cart can be even a little faster and more dynamic than a snow sled, making it a fun alternative for all ages.
Our priority is to provide you with an unforgettable husky experience in any season and weather conditions.

When will I receive my pickup time?

The exact pickup time will be confirmed 1–2 days before your tour date. Please be prepared that tours may start between 07:30 AM and 12:30 PM, depending on the schedule and daily arrangements.

How long is the husky sled ride?

The husky sledding experience includes approximately 3 km of riding through Latvian countryside trails. The total time with the dogs, including instructions and preparation, is longer to allow you to fully enjoy the experience.

What should I wear for the tour?

Warm waterproof jacket and trousers

Do I need previous experience to ride a husky sled?

No experience is required. Our professional guides will explain everything you need to know. You can enjoy the ride as a passenger or try basic mushing (driving the sled) with guidance from our team.

Are children allowed on the husky tour?

Yes, children are welcome. The activity is suitable for families, but children should be dressed warmly and be comfortable spending time outdoors in winter weather.
