3-day dog sledding tour

Three days is when mushing becomes a rhythm. You harness your own team each morning, run all day through the backcountry, and stop for lunch, for photos, for the dogs. Your guide adapts the route to snow and weather.

Wolf tracks and moose are common along the trail, and woodland caribou are sometimes seen. Each evening ends at a warm camp, with a hot meal cooked by your guide and, on clear nights, the chance of northern lights or the howl of wolves.

Nights are spent in heated winter tents, each accommodating up to 4 guests and 2 guides.

Questions & answers.

Do I need dog sledding experience?

No. The 3-day trip is designed for beginners: you learn to drive and care for your team on the first morning, and your skills grow every day.

Where do we sleep?

In heated winter tents at wilderness camps, for up to 4 guests and 2 guides, with hot meals and all the camping gear provided.

Will we see the northern lights?

Nothing is ever guaranteed, but two nights far from any lights double your chances compared with a single night out.

Shorter or longer?

Short on time? Try our overnight dog sledding trip. Want more? Our 5-day dog sledding expeditions take you deeper into the Yukon backcountry.
