What an amazing experience. Our guide was great, the dogs were so friendly, this was an all around fabulous experience. We were so glad we booked this excursion. You will definitely be warm enough in the suits they give you. Everyone was so friendly and gave great instructions as to how to drive the sled. If you are a dog person, this is definitely the activity for you. After you finish the ride you get to meet all the dogs, feed them and give them lots of love.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Anuk was so friendly and professional. The dogs were so happy and energetic, we could not stop smiling! The venue was quite charming too. It is not cheap however believe me, you will never regret what you have paid for. Thank you so much đź’“

It is exciting and fun! Being able to be the driver while sledding was a once in a lifetime experience! The dogs are so strong and hard working. Sledding in the wilderness made this experience completely worthwhile!

Anuk spent a great deal of necessary time explaining how to mush the dogs and how to enjoy the experience. We loved it. We met the dogs and puppies afterwards.

This was something I’ve always wanted to do and this experiment exceeded my expectations.. The guide helped us to get on heavy winter attire to keep us warm. Next we learned how to work with the huskies. My husband drove and I set in the sled all wrapped up. We rode along for a long while before switching drivers. I didn’t believe my legs were strong enough, so my husband drove the whole time. Back from the ride, we were given food to give the huskies and time to love on them. The dogs were very affectionate. We also got to meet the younger puppies which was so fun. This experience is so fun. Do it if you can

The dogs were great. Our guide Linda was informative and a great teacher. We all had a good amount of time to ride and drive our own sleds. Excellent experience!

The ride is not 4 hours, it's approximately 1 hour, the rest is talking, changing in warm overalls, getting the instructions and drinking coffee after.
The experience was great, nice dogs, I got to pet the dogs afterwards and I got to let some puppy's.

Tryly a wonderful experience! Our driver was engaging and pleasant. Our guide, Anuk suited us up, gave us an informative briefing and off we went. If you followed her instruction you were in for a fun time and could check this off your bucket list!✅️ We got to feed the dogs their treats and meet the younger pups. A nice black currant tea afterwards was very tasty and a nice accouterment. Job well done!

Great experience, our guide Adam was very helpful and informative, ensuring we had the right clothing and explaining how to and what to expect when sledding with a team of dogs. He went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience, which we did.

Best experience so far. Husky sledge run was nice and long, plenty of opportunity to enjoy the scenery. Afterwards we were invited to feed our own Husky teams and make a fuss of them. All the dogs were extremely friendly. Our favourite experience on this holiday, well worth the money.

Our sled guide Adam was great. You can tell he’s very passionate about the dogs and their wellbeing, and he explained a lot of the practices to maintain their mental & physical health, their routines, training, etc. The huskies are all super sweet and loved receiving all the pets after our sled ride!

The guide was great, attentive, and provided loads of information.
Dogs were well cared for, and we had a very individualized experience-able to ride and drive the sled.

We had such a great time on this dog sledding adventure. The drive out to Gargia Lodge took about 30 minutes, but the driver was very knowledgeable and filled the drive with information. Upon arrival, we were outfitted with thermal suits, boots, additional socks and mittens if needed. A brief introduction on how to handle the sled was provided, simple yet very clear. Our guide was fantastic. She made sure the sleds stayed together and took us on a great journey in a winter wonderland. We were able to hang out with the wonderful dogs after the ride and each person was given the chance to drive the sled and ride if wanted. We then went back to the lodge and had a snack and a lovely warm fruit drink that was amazing. Everyone was so helpful. They answered all of our questions about dog sledding and their journeys as well as answer lots of questions we had about the area and things to do. Such a wonderful experience. Everyone should visit Alta and go on a dog sledding adventure.

This was a fantastic experience that was worth every penny! The thrill of driving the dogsled is really special and the course around the lodge is full of scenic views, fun ups and downs, and beautiful woods. Having the opportunity to switch drivers at the halfway point was also a great touch that made sure everyone got to drive the team. The dogs are all fantastic and getting to bond with the team afterwards was a ton of fun! I have to also commend the guides on the gear that was provided. It was -20 degrees Celsius before getting on the sleds but the provided boots, mittens, and Arctic suits kept us toasty warm even in extreme temperatures. If you are in Alta, I would absolutely recommend this activity to anyone who likes adventures in a winter wonderland!

Really fun experience. Picked up on time, really nice drive to the resort where everything was ready and waiting. The dog sledding was great fun, really enjoyable. Highly recommended.

A great experience: drive your own dog sled across the snow plains and through the forests! Even with zero experience doable.

Es ist ein echt tolles Erlebnis mit dem Husky-Schlitten eine Stunde zu fahren, als Fahrer oder als Gast im Schlitten. Auch die Hunde zu knuddeln ist echt toll und sie lieben es, so richtig gestreichelt und aufgewärmt zu werden. Die Guides haben super instruiert und waren total leger und angenehm.
