Top Latvia Dog Sledding/Mushing

Experience the Latvian countryside in a way most tourists won’t—on the back of a sled pulled by a pack of well-trained huskies. During this small-group experience, you’ll sail through the trees at a top speed of 15.5 miles per hour, and enjoy an opportunity to be both a passenger and a musher on the sled. And yes, you get to pet the dogs.

It’s even more of an adrenaline rush to suit up in protective gear and stand ready as the trained dog is coming to take you down. It may take some convincing ahead of time, but you will be so glad you did it once it’s over. These dogs are amazing and it’s fascinating to watch them take down their target like they have been trained to do. Watching them in action might just be the highlight of your weekend.
