Baikal dog sledding and fast dogsledding racing

Baikal dog-sledding trips are an unforgettable experience in which you are driving your own dogsled powered by a team of our friendly, handsome Kamchatka Huskies. These dogs absolutely live to pull. The pulling instinct is so strong that they need training nearly every day.

Our experienced mushers accompany you on a sledge to provide complete training, help out as needed and point out signs of scenic interest. No experience is needed. Persons ages 5-75 have enjoyed these trips.

The terrain is a mixture of hills and flat parts in siberian taiga forest on the shore of lake Baikal. In February and March it is a great opportunity to take the dogs over a frozen lake.

Dog-sledding / two persons on a sledge: if your team of 2 has at least one experienced musher, you may ride a sledge together. One person is mushing the dogs for the first leg of the track while the other one is comfortably tucked into the sled. Skilled musher rides ahead of everyone else and periodically pauses to look back and see if everyone is doing OK with their team of dogs. At the midpoint, you got the chance to change roles between "mushers" and "passengers".

It is the only dog sledding base in Siberia and you may find other offers from agents with more or less the same costs. We offer the first price right from the owner and provide a fast 100% confirmed booking, detailed information support, quick responses and answers to your emails. Compare ... you'll be convinced!

If you have already decided about the date, time, trail distance and the size of your group you may call us during a day and you will speak to someone straight away.

No special fitness or experience is needed. We will do our best to prepare you and share the experience of this unique Baikal dog-sledding activity. We LOVE our Huskies and we're sure you will enjoy the results!

We'd always like to hear about the service you recieve from us. Please tell us all about it!

We took the Dog sledding trip in March this year and found it to be well run and organised. We were picked up from the hotel on the dot and safely delivered back afterwards. The driver was personable and knowledgeable about the area and the way of life. A well run and proffessional organisation. I would recommend their services to anybody. Well done. Bob
