A lot of fun riding the sled. We stayed 3 hours on site, including the ride, coffee near the fire pit, and long petting with the dogs. Paradise for dog lovers.

Nous avons adoré vivre cette expérience à la fois animale et humaine. Pendant une heure nous avons sillonné de beaux paysages suédois après avoir appris à mettre le harnais aux chiens. Sentir leur excitation à courir ainsi que leur force est sans pareil. L'activité est suivie d'un échange autour d'un grand feu où sont dégustés cafés et thés avec Jordana et toute sa petite famille ; un vrai moment de partage et d'authenticité. On sent tout l'amour qu'ils ont pour leur animaux et leur bonheur de vivre cette passion. Pouvoir jouer et interagir avec les chiots est la cerise sur le gâteau !
