A husky hiking tour that takes you out in the nature with lovely sled dogs. Although being on their summer holiday, the huskies are very eager to guide you through the beautiful scenery and uncrowded trails of Kuhmo.Every hiker will get a dog of their own to get familiar with. As the huskies are very human friendly so it won't take long to make friends with them. You will be provided with special husky trekking gear: a shock-absorbing leash between you and the dog and a comfortable belt on your waist. When the dogs have their harnesses on you are ready to go and explore the nature.
Hiking with huskies is more intensive than normal hill walking as the dogs are very eager to study the surroundings. Mostly they follow the trail but sometimes they also like to study what can be found deeper in the forests! As the dogs have way better senses than us, they also help us to see and hear better what is happening in the nature.
During the day picnic lunch will be served by the open fire, spiced up with some stories of husky life. When it is warm enough for swimming, it is possible to have a refreshing break on the lake shore.
To participate in this husky trekking program you should be reasonably fit. However, the trail and the length of the tour will be tailored to meet the requirements of the group. If you have any problems with your back or knees you can join the group without a dog.
For the tour you need normal hiking shoes or trainers and suitable outdoor clothing. It is also good to have a small day pack and a water bottle (on most places it's possible to drink nature water from streams and springs but it is recommended to take bottled water with you).
