Your guide will pick you up at your hotel and by car take you through beautiful Advent valley, to our wilderness kennel in Bolterdalen. Here you will change clothes and get a throughout briefing from the guide, before we harness the dogs and set off into the beautiful valley of Bolterdalen. The kennel is located 12 kilometers outside Longyearbyen, and here you will receive thorough instruction in dog sledding, as well as help with harnessing the dogs before we drive off into Bolterdalen. Green dog is the furthest dog farm in the valley, so you get straight out into the wilderness! Bolterdalen is an area with limited scooter traffic.
We are sledding in pairs and in front the guide will be mushing with two guests. We take turns in steering the slsedge, so all who wishes to steer can try it.
We are mushing next to the frozen riverbed, which is surrounded by majestic mountains. When we reach the morrain, the dogs will be excited going up and down hill and the fun will last all the way back to the kennel. Back at the kennel, we will meet the latest generation of puppies and the guide will offer hot drinks, warm waffles & brandy in our heated log cabin.
This dogsledgetrip goes through beautiful Bolterdalen, which offers unique arctic scenery and good chances of observing artic wildlife, such as reindeer and ptarmigan. Dogs are perfect bear detectors. No experience is necessary.
