You will be collected from the hotel entrance and driven to the Green Dog dog yard which is located approximately 12 km outside of Longyearbyen. Note that the guide may have to pick up guests from several hotels, hence he may be a few minutes late. Once there you will be supplied with outer clothes for the tour and given an introduction to dogsledding. Each sled will take two guests, and you will have the opportunity to enjoy the ride as a passenger and try mushing for yourself. The guide will be driving in front with his 12 team and 2 guests. he group will stop at the beautiful ice cave hidden inside the Scott Turner glacier, and explore the cave while the dogs rest.
During the summer the ice cave is a bubbling meltwater river, and you will be able to see how the water has cut a path through the ancient ice, leaving beautiful formations in the walls and roof. After we’ve visited the ice cave, we will enjoy a light lunch and a hot drink in our tent. The group will then return to their well-rested dogs, who will now be eager to head downhill, through Bolterdalen and back home to the dog yard, where we will meet the youngest puppies.
