For whom?
The MushingMINI workshop offers you the opportunity to experience for yourself what it's like to steer a small sled dog team. You stand on the sled and steer the team of four dogs.
This workshop provides a gentle introduction to dog sledding for anyone interested. You will be accompanied by Mario on the snowmobile and he will give you some tips and tricks.
Mario takes over the start from the start trail onto the main trail, then you take over the team and follow Mario, who drives ahead on the snowmobile. The dogs will have let off some steam by then and it's more relaxed, especially for beginners.
What is the program schedule?
Getting to know the dogs
First you get to know the 4 dogs that will be pulling you and can familiarize yourself with them.
Putting on the pulling harnesses
The next step is to put the harness on the dogs and you are also welcome to put a harness on a dog.
Harnessing the dogs
Mario harnesses the dogs in front of the sled. You can help or just watch.
Mario starts the team
Mario takes the start from the start trail onto the main trail and you are allowed to ride the snowmobile approx. 250m to the main trail, where you then take over the team.
Changing drivers
At the changeover, Mario explains to you once again exactly what you have to pay attention to and then it's off and you drive the dog team yourself.
Dog cuddles to say goodbye
On your return, you can help take the dogs off the sled and still have time to cuddle with them and take photos.
What requirements do I need to meet?
Minimum age 16 years
To be allowed to drive a trailer yourself, you must be at least 16 years old.
Basic physical fitness
You should have a certain degree of mobility and no balance or coordination problems.
A maximum body weight of approx. 100 kg
The upper weight limit is approx. 100 kg per person so as not to overburden our dogs. If the weight is higher, please contact us.
No fear of the dogs
You will come into direct contact with our sled dogs, who may even jump on you.
What clothing is needed?
Wear warm clothing that is suitable for the weather
Do not use cotton for socks and thermal underwear, as it does not protect you as well from the Arctic cold and you will freeze much faster in it.
If it is very cold, it is advisable to wear several thin layers.
A little more is better than too little. Clothing can also be stowed in the sled bag.
We recommend the following clothing:
Long thermal underwear made of wool
Thick woolen socks
Warm wool hat
A pair of thermal trousers
Thick winter gloves or mittens
Thick wool sweater or fleece sweater
A warm winter jacket
A thin buff or face protection made of wool
Face cream if necessary
Sunglasses if necessary
We can also provide you with the following clothing if required
Overtrousers suitable for polar conditions
Very warm down jacket in S, M and XL
Thick gloves for sledging
Thermal boots
We need the normal shoe and clothing size in advance. The outerwear is then one to two sizes larger than normal so that there is still enough room for additional layers underneath. At temperatures down to -30°C and colder, 3 to 4 layers are necessary to stay warm
