Summary: I don’t know what to say except that I had a natural high for a couple of days afterwards. Claire was so welcoming and warm. Richard instilled confidence in us which helped us to embrace the responsibility of driving the sled. Loved every second of it. I’m ready for another trip!

Summary: Amazing experience with these absolutely adorable huskies 😍 Richard and Marcus were the best ❤️ Instructions were thorough and made us feel secure and all set for the ride 😊 It was so good that it was a hands on experience, everyone had a chance to sit on the sledge as well as to be the driver. Boys, 11 and 12 years old, liked it a lot and got to be the drivers as well 😊 I will definately come back when next time here in Åre for skiing. Thank you, Claire and Richard for this amazing time with your cutest dogs ❤️
