Over Night Tour

Seasonal Tour - This tour generally runs during July and August only. 

Experience the world of sled dogs during an overnight trip staying in a backcountry hut in the Pisa Range.  Your ride is a team of Huskies and with the guidance of our experienced mushers you will learn all you need to know about how to drive and take care of your own team. 

This is your chance to immerse yourself and experience the world of sled dogs.  With time on our side we have the ability to really learn about the gear and dogs.  Starting with an introduction to the dogs and some instruction on how to drive a dog team you will very quickly progress to where you get to drive you own team, which will be your ride to our nights accommodation.  A picturesque set backcountry hut is our accommodation for the night, where we will feed the dogs and bed them down.  After the dogs are settled we will enjoy a meal in the comfort of our hut,  there is the option to either go for a night run or sit in the comfort of the hut and talk and learn more about sled dogs.

After a good night sleep for you and the dogs our first priority will be tending to the dogs followed by breakfast.  It is then time to pack up and get back behind our teams for another run which will conclude back at the Snow Farm Lodge.
