The sledding was brilliant. The dogs were so friendly and they loved to run! We stopped after about 90 minutes for a break and some lunch then headed back. The scenery is just stunning, it really was an amazing experience.

In einer kleinen Gruppe von 4 Schlitten hatten wir eine sehr schöne Tour auf dem Tore und durch die Wälder.

J'ai apprécié en soit l'activité avec les chiens et durant la balade, cela était merveilleux. Cependant certains points m'ont dérangé. En effet, on est venu me chercher en van et la personne m'a à peine parler, et puis on arrive et les chiens sont tous en cages, quand je pose la question de comment ils font l'été on m'explique qu'ils restent dans leur cage pendant 4 mois. J'aurais dû mieux me renseigner car sinon je ne serais surement pas venu. Durant la balade cela va très lentement obligé de ralentir quasiment tout le temps, nous devons suivre une moto neige qui fait du bruit, cela n'est pas très agréable. Enfin, lorsque nous rentrons, le repas est seulement égayé par le "cuisinier" et le repas est plus que mauvais par rapport à d'autres activités effectuées dans la région. Avant même le milieu de mon repas, on vient me chercher pour partir, j'ai donc du manger en rentrant chez moi, et une nouvelle fois on ne m'a pas parler du trajet.
