You do not have to travel to Siberia – you can experience dog sledding and a real arctic atmosphere even in Slovakia. In snowy forests near the village Gerlachov or Pribylina, with a view of Tatra, we have prepared a husky adventure for you that will please every lover of winter and animals.
Go with us on the ride of your life and discover the beautiful world of husky dogs. Experience a feeling of perfect freedom in the snowy wilderness and enjoy the joy of speed that will recharge you with new energy. It is just you, your team, and the endless beauty around. Let’s go!
What awaits you on the husky adventure:
The Tatra winter combines a picturesque snowy landscape and unique winter adventures. And we will go for one of them with your guide. Already the trip from Poprad offers beautiful views that will get you in the mood for your destination. Whether it will be Gerlachov or Pribylina, we are approaching one of the best locations for dog sledding in Slovakia.
After arrival below Tatra, instructors will welcome you. You will talk about dogs together and then you will meet the pack. Our huskies are full of energy, they have cheerful natures and cannot wait to finally set off forward. After short training, you will sit in the sled and start your husky adventure. But be careful, the highlight of the program is yet to come!
We have finished the shared ride with the instructor. It is time to take command and become a musher. You do not have to worry about turning wrong – the dogs follow their track which they already passed. However, this does not take away from the pure joy and excitement of the fast ride. Quite the opposite, you can enjoy the beautiful winter scenery around you undisturbed.
If you want to feel like a pro, you can shout “GO-GO-GO” for the start. You can also try “STOP”, but we have a small hint for you: our dog sledding team successfully ignores this word. Huskies love running and have energy for the whole day! The only way to tame them is to press the brake at your feet really hard. Only then will you understand what a real husky adventure involves.
To enjoy dog sledding and the ride below Tatra fully and without worries, we summarized the most important things for you. You will find practical answers here to everything that might interest you before the start of the husky adventure.
So that everyone enjoys the ride fully, groups are usually smaller (4 to 6 people). It works simply – we ride in laps. After every lap, you take turns at the sled – while the instructor takes another member of the expedition, you have space for taking photos and watching the dogs in action.
Our program is set for approximately 1 hour. We ride on a circuit 1 to 4 km long (depending on conditions). During the ride, we will teach you the riding technique, sled control, and you will learn everything essential about this beautiful sport in Slovakia.
Dog sledding is not the only nordic adventure you can experience in Tatra. Try our Night in an Igloo! Build your own snow shelter and spend the night in the middle of the winter wilderness under the stars.
We believe that the strongest experiences are those you can share. Therefore, the activity is designed for a minimum of 2 people. Take your family, partner, or best friend with you – shared memories of the snowy landscape and the energy of dogs will connect you more than if you were there alone.
Nature decides and we adapt to it so that your experience is as perfect as possible. Therefore, we choose the location for dog sledding according to the current snow depth. If there is a lot of snow, we will see you in Gerlachov directly below Tatra. If there is less snow, we move to the village Pribylina, where conditions are usually more favorable. We will always inform you about the exact place in time.
Are you looking for an original program for colleagues or an unforgettable family trip? Our husky adventure connects people through pure joy, snowy nature, and contact with man’s best friend. If you are planning an event for a larger group, contact us. We will be very happy to prepare an individual offer for you with a better price and an experience you will talk about for a long time.
Snowy forest roads and white plains below Tatra await you. Book a date and head to the snow with us! You will experience a day you will remember for a long time.
