Sleddog Experience
 
This is fantastic trip for the sled-dog enthusiast and can be either a daytime or nighttime experience dependant on your preferences.

After getting to know the dogs and having a brief history into the daily working, training and life of the dogs you will sit back in a comfortable 6-seater motorized sledcart with intercom and enjoy the incredible Rothiemurchus scenery. Talk with the musher and get hands on while you travel! Just remember this is no Disneyland adventure, this is a proper insight into the real world of Sleddog racing. Alan will take you on an exclusive excursion and show you exactly how he trains his dogs for a big race.

This 25-minute remote forest trip will be something that you will never forget.
