老闆人非常好,會來接客人,在結冰的湖面上玩哈士奇雪橇真的超級漂亮,美得像在仙境,我們在雪橇上大概40-50分鐘,玩完老闆會帶我們到狗狗住的地方摸他們,看得出來他們被照顧得很好,環境也很乾淨,之後老闆會生起火,讓我們圍著火喝飲料吃餅乾。

The owners are super nice. At first we got to know their siberian Huskys. Beautiful and very kind animals. It was so much fun spending some time with them before the ride began. After we received the instructions on how to steer the sled we had a beautiful and long ride over the frozen lake. It was reall magical. After the ride we could again spend some time with the playful dogs and came together at a fireplace to drink some tea and ask all the questions we had. I really would recommend this acitivity.
