Dogsledding
One more way of exploring the snowscapes, a virtually quiet sensation in the forests with the snow-clad mountains in the background is by dog sledding; an extraordinary experience equally enjoyed by all the members of the family. We can actually promise you memories to last a lifetime.
Sometimes you want to get away from the pace in the lift-serviced part of the ski area, far away from queues, groomed pistes and loud après-ski bands; to lean back in a sled, wrapped in soft reindeer skins with a pack of howling Alaskan Huskies in front, eagerly awaiting the signal to set off. As the musher gives the okay signal and the pack sets off the sensation is one of almost indescribable freedom and excitement.
In Vemdalen a couple of operators run dog sledding tours in the area. You can choose between a brief 20-minute tour near the slopes or a two-hour drive including coffee made on the campfire or perhaps the four-hour lunch excursion where you can study the piste skiers at a distance making them look the size of ants. There are chances of spotting reindeer, moose or ptarmigan in the backcountry for the keen eyed.

We offer tours in Vemdalen starting from our place Älgeåsvallen. It is located between Vemdalen village and Vemdalsskalet and takes about 15 minutes by car from both places.
Minimum age for children is 4 years.
We offer 2,5 hour sleddogtours for 1500 sek/person, half price for children under 12.
(The minimum for a sled is 2 full paying)
It is a roundtrip of 15-17 km. On the half way we have a tipi up where we stop for coffee, tea, hot chocolate and a cinnamon roll.
After the tour there will be time to meet the dogs when we let them all loose after work.
In March and April there is also possibility to book a 4 hour tour with a lunchbreak in front of the fire.
This tour costs 2200 sek/person, half price for children under 12.
(The minimum for booking the lunchtour is 3 full paying)
We run all our tours with one guide who is driving the sled. There is a team of 10-12 dogs running. The guests are sitting on the sled enjoying the ride. (With us, guests never drive their own team.)
We are a small kennel and have only two sleds to offer seats on.
One sled takes normally 3 adults / 2 adults + 2 children.
