Dog sledge tour

When we were in Abisko we decided to make a dog sledge tour.


Each one of us got a sledge and four dogs. They really enjoy the running. The dogs know where to go and you only have steer the sledge and make sure you stay on the path.


The tour was only a few kilometers but it was very exhausting. We were riding on a small path in the forest. There were some downhill parts where you have to break the sledge and some uphill parts where you have push the sledge because four dogs are not enough to pull the sledge and one person up the hill. There were also few narrow bridges over brooks - some with railings and some without.


It was really fun. None of us had any serious crashes although there were few exiting and maybe also a bit dangerous moments. But the adrenalin is part of the fun.


Also none of us was bitten or attacked by the dogs. Although they are not kept as house pets they were very nice. In fact this is a great therapy if you are afraid of dogs.
