The Family Sled Ride is a guided dog sled ride specifically designed for families with children aged 3 and up. The tour begins with a short introduction at the kennel, where guests meet the sled dogs and learn how a dog sled works. Then, the 45-minute ride takes you through snowy forests and open fields in Dragnäs. Guests sit in the family sled and are driven by the guide. Upon returning, there is time to pet the dogs, take photos, and ask any questions.

Basti, Jenny, and Ylvie live in Dragnäs with their 28 amazing dogs, 2 adorable ponies, and a few happy chickens. They have been active in dog sledding since 2017 and have developed their team with rescue and second-hand dogs because they believe in second chances and want to make a difference for the dogs that find their new homes with them. Their dogs are beloved family members, regardless of their abilities.

This provider implements additional measures and goes beyond both our minimum requirements and the applicable national regulations.

To highlight and promote this commitment, we use a simple recognition system on our platform. Partners who exceed our requirements in at least three areas are identified by this symbol. You can find more information here.

This provider places particular emphasis on preventing heat stress in the dogs and regularly offers the sled dogs the opportunity to swim during the summer. Furthermore, the owners hold qualifications as certified sports scientists, animal naturopaths, and physiotherapists. Their commitment to animal welfare and their additional care for dogs who have had a difficult start in life are also particularly noteworthy.

  • We learned a lot about the care and nature of huskies. All the huskies come from difficult backgrounds and have found a loving home here. We were even allowed to help with feeding them.
