Powerun Adventures

  Pre booked this excursion with our hotel Yllashumina which was a 15 minute drive from our hotel into the middle of a huge forest of high heavy snow laden trees.... read more Once at the farm which is very well kept, modern yet fits perfectly into its surroundings. To start you are shown how to control the sleigh which is very simple and easy to do. The dogs are very noisy and just want to run and run and run....... Once kitted up, I advise you bring inner and out gloves, goggles, Balaclava or similar like a gator. If you want to video a GoPro on a head band is best as it is very cold and taking your gloves off to operate a smart phone at 30km an hour is not recommended. There are two types of sleigh, individual and pair. The latter, one person drives while the other sits wrapped in furs. The drive is about 20 km with a half way swop to change over driver / passenger. The route consist of cross country, up hill and down Dale, twists rising and falling trails, with open areas across frozen lakes and swamps. The dogs keep running on and on and on never tiring, always wanting to go faster and faster. Once back at the husky camp you help to unleash the dogs after which they are feed and watered. Then it’s our turn as you all enter a wood cabin with a huge log fire for mhot blueberry juice and home made snacks and learn about the dogs and their welfare which is at a very high standard. All in all it was a great experience being close to nature and interacting with the dogs. …

  Husky dog sledding - booked through hotel who offered warmer clothing if we wanted it which we did not but did borrow warmer boots. We were collected by car from... read more the hotel. We were lucky as it was just the two of us. 4km route out into the surrounding area and across two lakes. Very fast but owner kept a good eye on us. Afterwards we saw the other dogs and went for hot berry juice around the fire in the cabin. The dogs were extremely well looked after and it was great to chat to the owners. What a great experience.
