DOGRUNNING AUTUMNTOUR - 2 HOURS

MID SEPTEMBER TO OCTOBER 31st:

Sissel and the dogs are preparing for the winter middistance races with tours in the beautiful Skurdalen, and we invite you to participate in training of the dogs. Here you get to join in the preparation of the team, a learn how to drive a cart and the trip itself of course. Sissel is on the national team in dogsledding and has been for a few years now. Her dogs are of the faster type, so this trip has a little more speed and excitement than the 3 hour trip with Ivar's huskies.

The dogs are in training during that period, so the number of tours we hold is limited and with few participants. 

​

Duration: 2 hours in total, around 1 hour tour and the rest of the time is spent preparing the dogs, learning the driving technique, taking pictures if you like and lots and lots of cuddles with the dogs.

Price: Children (5-13 years) 1390, - Adult (from 14 years) 1690, -

Number: 4 guests per tour

Clothing: Windproof and preferably rainproof jacket, windproof trousers, warm boots, hat, windproof gloves / mittens, wool underwear and wool socks. A neck / buff is more practical than a scarf, and glasses that protect against wind, rain or gravel are nice to wear. The clothes often get a little dirty during an autumn trip, it is recommended to wear clothes that can withstand being outside in all kinds of weather.

Age limit: The lower age limit is 5 years, and children are considered between 5-13 years. From the age of 14 you are considered an adult and from the age of 14 you will have the opportunity to drive the dog carrier carriage. We have a higher age limit here due to the dogs having a higher speed then the huskies. 

Meeting point: is in Skurdalen, about 15min by car from Geilo. Meeting place can vary in terms of hunting and weather.

Contact information: booking@geilohusky.com or 924 66 920 (preferably sms). We are a tiny company with 2 mushers who have care and training of the dogs in the first place, but we try to be as accessible as possible.
