One day tourTour of the dog kennels and dog sledding

We meet at the appointed place, get acquainted and drive to the snowmobile park, from where we head to the dog kennels.

Ethnographic tour starts at the entrance of the kennels. We’ll be welcomed according to the traditions of indigenous people and told about their life and culture, while national ensemble presents a mystical performance. After that you’ll be able to try on ethnic costumes and be photographed.

Later we’ll have lunch with traditional dishes in a national dwelling.

We meet a dog driver and his dogs. He’ll teach us the technique of riding a dog sled, after which we harness the dogs. We ride a sled on a snow-covered expanse supervised by an experience dog driver. You can ride a sled yourself or sit in the sledge and enjoy the scenery.

You shouldn’t be worry about dogs, because sledding dogs love to run forward and pull a sled. Their actions are coherent, it is a true team effort! One sled is pulled by 4 or 6 dogs, therefore the load on each dog is little. At the same time, when having no work to do, sledding dogs start to suffer from idleness.

While it hasn’t got too dark outside we head back to the dog kennels. There we say goodbye to our new furry friends, drive to the car park on snowmobiles and transfer to the city.
