Exclusive Mountain Tour
Exclusive Mountain Tour
The Exclusive Mountain Tour will begin higher up in Ottsjö village, where the scenery is truly breathtaking. Before we set off, your guide will provide you with a short course on driving a dog sled followed by a short health and safety talk. You will also have an opportunity to meet all the dogs, after which you will jump on your sled and we will start preparing for the journey by hooking the dogs up in their rightful positions.
Our exclusive tour really offers a magical experience. To the east, you will be able to see the mountain ranges of Storulån (Great Wolf River) and Selina. During the tour we will stop for fika (Swedish coffee and cake) and an opportunity for photos, before making our way back to the starting point via a different route. You are sure to be left with a lasting memory coupled with the excitement of your heart pumping and the dogs eagerly pulling you through the frozen landscape. On some occations we make our way to Hållfjället Mountain Station.
Extra information
In general, no prior experience is needed to drive the sleds. All drivers and passengers will receive the correct amount of dogs for their weight. A balanced ratio will be applied so we do not overload our sleds.
Due to the fact that dog sledding is an active sport, it is an advantage to have a good fitness level. For instance, our dogs may need your assistance to get up hills.
Clothing
Good clothing and equipment is absolutely essential to making to most of your tour – especially in the mountains where the weather changes quickly. Please carefully read our Tour Kit List before your visit.
We are very particular about health and safety. Our aim is to provide you with a high quality tour, thus leaving you with a positive experience.
Insurance
We do advise you to take out your own personal insurance which should include a cancellation policy, in case the weather does cause a problem. Subsequently, if you wear expensive clothing or bring expensive equipment, we advise you to take out a policy which will cover any accidental damage or loss.
