SUMMER MUSHING Experience!

Summer Troll Cart Rides Bring Dog Mushing Thrills Off the Snow

A modified troll cart experience is offering visitors the chance to enjoy dog mushing activities even during summer and autumn, providing an alternative to traditional snow based sledding. The activity allows guests to run behind a team of sled dogs along farm trails, recreating the excitement of mushing in a dry land setting.

The experience begins with a guided farm tour and safety briefing, followed by preparation for the ride. The troll cart journey itself covers approximately two kilometres and lasts around ten minutes, but the full programme, including setup and introductions, extends to more than an hour, ensuring a complete and engaging visit.

For those seeking variation, an additional option allows guests to experience dogs running in front of a quadbike, offering another perspective on their speed and teamwork. These activities are designed to showcase the dogs’ energy and coordination outside of the winter season, while maintaining safe and controlled conditions.

Visitors can observe the dynamics of sled dog teams as they work together, with groups of six to eight dogs in summer and larger teams used during autumn training. The experience highlights everything from playful puppies to experienced working dogs, offering insight into their training, communication, and natural enthusiasm for running as a team.
