Summer Dog sledding

Join us for an unforgettable summer dog sledding tour, combined with a visit to our unchained Siberian Husky Kennel at Vallholt Farm, conveniently located between Akureyri and Lake Mývatn in North Iceland.

Warm Welcome at Vallholt Kennel

Upon arrival at Vallholt Kennel, you will be greeted by one of our experienced Mushers and our beautiful Siberian Huskies. We ensure your comfort by providing access to toilet facilities and offering additional clothing and gear, so you can enjoy the dog sledding experience to the fullest.

Meet the Huskies

Next, you will have the chance to meet the dogs up close. Our Musher will share fascinating details about the Huskies, including their personalities and family connections, allowing you to get to know these remarkable animals before the adventure begins.

Preparing for the Adventure

Before setting out, you will receive a safety briefing to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience. We use carts with hydraulic brakes and good suspension on our tours. Afterward, it's time to embark on the scenic trail.

The Summer Sledding Experience

Two and two guests will have a private cart, led by a Musher from Snow Dogs and pulled by 10-12 Siberian Huskies. The trail covers a distance of 3-5 km and typically takes about 30-40 minutes, including stops for photos along the way. During the journey, your Musher will explain the basics of dog sledding and how to work alongside these incredible dogs.

After the Ride

Following the summer dog sledding adventure, there will be ample time to spend at the kennel, where you can cuddle, and take photos with the friendly Siberian Huskies.
