4.Half Day Guided Walk with Huskies

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · from $59Best value

Join Wild Spirit Bushcraft for a two-hour, 6 to 8 km guided walk near Ottsjö with huskies. Richard, Claire, or another trained guide leads you through forest openings toward Ridvadet, with views of Vålådalen and Lundörren, then along Ottsjön. Families can shorten the route, and children aged four and under should ride in a baby carrier.

“I don’t know what to say except that I had a natural high for a couple of days afterwards. Claire was so welcoming and warm. Richard instilled confidence in us which helped us to embrace the responsibility of driving the sled. Loved every second of it. I’m ready for another trip!”
