The Dog Sledding Experience in Minami Furano！

No. 4407

hat！DogSledding Experience ♪Friendly Course <5~8km>

The course begins with an indoor lecture from your guide, greeting the dogs, harnessing them, setting the musher rope, and then you're ready for a thrilling start!!

Guests will not merely be passengers, but will be able to personally experience all of the actual elements of dog-sledding - including rope management during a run, audible instructions to the dogs, speed control through braking, disembarking from the sled and running, and pedaling (kicking the snow with one leg to assist the dogs).

After reaching the goal, it's time to remove the ropes and harnesses, reward the dogs with a treat, and enjoy some tea in the warmth of base camp. After relaxing and catching your breath, the tour will come to an end.

Enjoy the spectacular scenery and crystal clear air while feeling the rhythm of sled dogs running and panting.

The Friendly Course is an easily course - perfect for guests who would like to sample the experience of dog-sledding.
The course is flat - with few hills and valleys, making it a good recommendation for tourists from overseas and families.
